All the red fox pups are just as dark as the red fox dad. I'm sure now that
they are all CC. I got the red fox and lilac from pet shops in Flint
Michigan. I do not know of any breeders any where near that area. I don't
believe that area would have cb and ch.

No I've never gotten anything like that in the litters. This is what the
litters consisted of:
14 red fox
10 spotted red fox
8 lilac
6 spotted lilac
At first I thought the spotted lilacs were spotted doves but then I realized
that the spotting gene has a lightening effect on their coats.

Thanks for your help.
