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 cch/cch, (Black Eyed) Bone and Beige Foxes ce/ce.
One shouldn't try to breed chinchillated Foxes and extreme dilution Foxes together, as it would bring cch/ce Fox mice, with top colours something else than recognized Fox varieties...
Red "Foxes" are genetically something completely different altoghether. They are genetically Ay/AW - 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.
