Even the great arctic fox experiment couldn't seem to breed that out.

Curious, I looked it up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox

It was done in the 50-90s. So I think we should take another stab at it, now that we know more science!

That's news to me. But it's probably been over a decade since I last looked into it. At one point they were even selling domesticated foxes to people as pets but were warning about their scenting. Thanks for the update!

They also lost their 'musky fox smell'."[6]

From the wiki. So seems like they did breed that out?
