Quick Look

Foxes are recognized in self and silver-ticked varieties. This excludes white-bellied pointed varieties from being entered in shows, as well as white-bellied ticked varieties.

Recognized fox varieties can be divided into two categories by their genetic make-ups; chinchillated tans and extreme dilution tans. Black, blue, chocolate and lilac foxes have c^ch/c^ch, (black eyed) bone and beige foxes c^e/c^e.

One shouldn't try to breed chinchillated Foxes and extreme dilution Foxes together, as it would bring c^ch/c^e Fox mice, with top colours something else than recognized fox varieties...

Red "foxes" are genetically something completely different altoghether. They are genetically A^y/A^W - C/*, which can make the belly white on a red (or just make the belly colour bad for a red) - or exceptionally sharply demarcated red berkshires.
