Abstract

Silver foxes are farm-bred for more than seventy years. At present, several coat-colour variations are observed among populations of silver foxes: platinum, white face with lighter colour and distinctive piebald pattern and Georgian white, characterized by white coat and blac spots on the body, feet and face, a mutation which has first appeared in a farm of the Georgian Republic (USSR) in 1943
