NATURAL MUTATIONS

RED FOX

The red fox, the most common color morph of Vulpes vulpes, is known for its striking coat. At birth, red foxes typically appear black or dark brown, gradually developing their signature reddish hues by the time they are 2 to 3 months old. Their fur can range from a pale, yellowish-orange to a deep, rich orange.

Distinctive black markings often appear on the backs of their ears and on their legs, though in some individuals, these areas may also take on a reddish tint. Their bushy tails are usually orange, overlaid with black guard hairs, and often tipped with white. The underparts—chest and belly—are typically white, creating a sharp contrast with the rest of their coat.

Eye color varies widely among red foxes, with shades including dark or light brown, orange, green, and even pale yellow.

 Leucistic fox

Due to variations in pigmentation, some foxes exhibit what’s known as a "dilute" appearance. These differences arise from partial or complete absence of certain pigments, resulting in a wide range of colorations beyond the typical red. Generally, their legs, ears, and tail tend to be darker—shades like dark brown, pale brown, black, or grey are common. The rest of their coat usually takes on a soft, creamy golden hue.

Their noses can vary as well, appearing in tones such as dark brown, black, reddish, or even pink. Eye color is equally diverse: while hazel and yellow are most common, some individuals may have blue, green, or pink eyes, depending on which pigments are affected.

Silver fox (AAbb) 

The silver fox is a melanistic variant of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), distinguished by its dark, often shimmering coat. Their coloration can range from nearly solid black—lacking silver highlights entirely—to a much lighter appearance due to a dense scattering of silver-tipped guard hairs. The depth of their coloration is often categorized using terms like extra light, light, medium light, medium, medium dark, dark, and extra dark.

Despite the variation in overall coat brightness, certain features remain consistently dark: the legs, ears, muzzle, and tail are always black. Eye color in silver foxes typically includes dark brown, hazel, orange, or yellow, though rare cases of blue-eyed individuals have been documented in captivity.

Historically, silver foxes played a pivotal role in the early fur trade, particularly in Canada, where they were among the first foxes bred for their pelts. There are five recognized types of silver foxes based on coat characteristics: standard, Alaskan, sub-standard, sub-Alaskan, and double silver.

Black fox (extra dark silver)

Black foxes are essentially extremely dark variants of the silver fox, lacking the silver-tipped guard hairs that give silver foxes their characteristic sheen. While they are a rare sight in the wild, black foxes are more commonly found in the fur industry, where darker pelts are often preferred.

Their eyes can be dark brown, hazel, orange, or yellow. Like all red foxes, black foxes typically retain the white tip on their tail. Occasionally, individuals—whether wild or captive—may have a white patch on their chest. This trait is not exclusive to black foxes but is instead a sign of piebaldism, a condition that can appear in foxes of any color morph.

Cross-type fox 

The cross-type of foxes results from mating a normal red fox with a silver fox. Depending on the type of silver fox or red fox they are crossed with, their reddish tones can be light, almost yellow, or dark orange, on the verge of red. They can go from nearly black with only a bit of orange to more orange than black. Variations of the cross-type foxes have specific names. These foxes have a cross sign on their back, which extends to their shoulders and neck. Their face, ears, tail, legs, chest, and belly are black while the rest is reddish. Their eyes are either dark brown, hazel, orange, or yellow.

Silver cross fox (AaBb)

​Silver cross foxes, as cross foxes have the cross pattern seen in common cross foxes; however, unlike the average wild cross fox, they have fewer red markings and generally have much more black on their fur. They also have more silver highlights on their whole body - back, sides, shoulders, and even face, hence the silver cross fox. Their eyes are dark brown, hazel, orange, or yellow, and their nose are black.

Golden cross fox (Aabb)

The golden cross fox, also known as gold cross fox, Alaskan cross, or red cross fox, results from mating a specific type of silver fox, the Alaskan silver fox, with a common red fox. The resulting fox displays a much greater amount of red coloration on its body than the average cross fox would. The large amount of red is combined with silver highlights in the little areas where there is still black. Their feet and tail, as well as their belly and face, are black, while most of the rest of their body is red. Their eyes can be brown, hazel, yellow, or orange, and their nose can be black.

Albino fox (AABBcc)

Albino foxes lack of melanin and therefore, appear white. Their nose is strictly pink, just like their skin in general, while their eyes can be either very light blue, white, pink or red. These foxes are a rare occurrence, both in the wild and in captivity. They generally have eyesight problems and are very prone to develop skin problems, that, without mentioning the fact that they are extremely at risk of being caught by predators or hunters due to their color, which offers no possibility of camouflage. 

Smokey Fox (AABb)

Smokey foxes—sometimes referred to as "bastard foxes"—are a variation of the red fox that displays more black in their fur than the typical red morph. Unlike standard red foxes with white chests and bellies, smoky foxes feature darker underparts, often black or grey. Their overall coat color tends to be either a deeper red or a diluted orange, and their undercoat is typically dark grey or black.

Smokey foxes' eye colors mirror those of red foxes, commonly appearing in shades of brown, orange, or yellow. They can be found both in captivity and in the wild. However, wild individuals usually exhibit the darker red variation rather than the diluted orange seen more often in captive populations.

Piebald fox

The piebald pattern can occur on any of the other wild mutations, as well as any of the captive-bred mutations. It is not specific to the red coloration only. Piebald foxes exhibit white spots or irregular white patterns on their fur, which can be either small and limited only to the tip of the feet, for example, just as they can be very large and cover half of the fox's body. It occurs randomly and can often be seen in populations of ranched foxes of man-made color mutations (white 'socks' on their feet, white leg, white chest, white spot on belly).

Cinnamon fox (AAbbgg or brCbrC)

Cinnamon foxes, also known as burgundy or Fromm's brown, are brown mutants of a rich chocolate brown colour, often seen having silver highlights in the same areas as a silver fox would usually have those highlights. These foxes are more saturated in colour than other brown mutants. Their nose is brown, and their eyes are brown, orange, yellow, or green. They are among the first brown red fox mutants to appear in the fur trade.

Amber fox (AAbbggpp)

Amber foxes result of a combination between pearl foxes and cinnamon foxes. Amber foxes have a wide range of possible variations, from very light greyish brown to darker greyish brown. Some are richer coloured, and are more yellowish brown, while others are more on the greyish side. Their noses are either grey or red, and their eyes can be either green or greenish yellow. 

Lavender fox

The lavender fox is a rare mutation of the red fox whose genetic background is not yet fully understood. Their coat ranges from brown with a grey/blue tint to greyish-blue with a brown tint, similar to the fawn glow colour. True lavender foxes have blue eyes which can be either ice blue or blue with a purple tint, like the fox pictured here. Their nose is generally grey or blue, but can be reddish with a tint of grey/blue as well. Lavender foxes strongly resemble some fawn glow foxes or pale pastel foxes, but it's important to note that they are not the same.

​Colicott fox (brFbrF)

Colicott foxes are a particular mutation, whose genetic difference from other brown fox mutations is not yet truly understood. Colicott foxes are generally dark brown, as dark as cinnamon foxes and even darker. They, however, have a very different shade of brown. Rather than being chocolate brown like cinnamon foxes, their colour is less saturated. If cinnamon foxes are chocolate milk, colicott foxes are dark chocolate. Their nose is generally either brown or reddish brown. What is particular with these foxes is the fact that, unlike the other brown mutants, they always have light blue eyes which almost appear white. They cannot have any other eye color. 

Copper fox

(AAbbgg or brCbrC)

Chocolate fox

Copper Cinnamon fox

The Copper fox, also known as copper cinnamon fox or chocolate fox, is a brown mutant which has a particular trait: unlike other brown mutants, or other foxes in general, copper foxes don't have silver highlights. They strongly resemble cinnamon foxes, from which they were created. They are like what the black fox is to the silver fox: the same colour, but lacking all silver highlights, which gives the fox a very unique appearance. Their eyes are either brown, orange, yellow or green and their nose, always brown. 

Bollert's brown fox

Bollert's brown is a sporadic colour mutation originating from Canada. Thanks to it, the colour mutation ''dawn glow'' came to be. Bollert's brown foxes are described as having a tint somewhere between a cinnamon fox and an amber fox: richly coloured like cinnamon foxes, but paler like amber foxes, and with a more yellowish/golden tint, like some amber foxes. Their noses are pink or light red, and their eyes are either grey, pale green, or pale yellow. 

Pastel Fox

Pastel foxes originate from different countries in Europe. Their colour varies from one fox to another, from a dilute brown (often labeled as lavender or red amber) to a very dark brown. Their nose colour matches the colour of their fur; if their fur is dark brown, their nose will be too. If their fur is pale brown, almost amber-like, so will be their nose. Pastel foxes' eyes also match the coloration of their fur, in most cases. Darker individuals will have brown or yellow eyes, while paler ones will have green or even blue eyes. However, there are dark pastels with blue eyes. Those foxes appear almost identical to colicott foxes. There are three pastel foxes: the Swedish, the Polish (extra dark brown), and the Norwegian pastel.

Dawn glow fox

Dawn glow foxes originate from Bollert's farm in ON, Canada. They are created from the breeding of the rare Bollert's brown fox with a pearl fox. Dawn glow foxes's eyes are generally pink, blue or greenish yellow, and their nose, pink or pale red. Their fur varies from light golden-brown to a pale beige, almost indistinguishable from champagne foxes. Dawn glow foxes are extremely rare, and most pelts labeled as dawn glows which can be seen online turn up to simply be pale amber foxes or champagnes. 

Champagne fox 

Champagne foxes, sometimes called 'pink foxes' or 'champagne pink foxes', originate from Quebec, where they first appeared in the 1970s. These foxes are extremely pale golden with pink and peach-orange highlights on their back, tail, and sometimes forehead. Despite how light they are, they still have a white tipped tail, just like all mutations of the red fox do. Their eyes are exclusively blue, but can appear yellow or red in natural daylight, depending on the angle at which the sunlight hits their eyes. Their noses are bright pink. Like all mutants with pale eyes (blue, grey, light green), these foxes have a deficiency in storing calcium. They require calcium and vitamin D supplements to correctly store calcium in their body. 

Cherry red fox

The cherry red fox is a variation of the natural orange color of the Vulpes vulpes. Cherry red foxes have a coat color varying between reddish-orange to dark red, sometimes even blood red. Breeders often select for the blood-red colouration, as it is the most desired look for the cherry red foxes, in the fur industry. Unlike common red foxes, who have white or yellow fur inside of their ears, cherry red foxes have dark red fur in their ears. Their chest and belly are white, like a common red fox's. Their eyes are usually yellow, but they can be brown or, in rare cases, orange. Their nose is always black.

Pearl fox (AAbbpp)

Pearl foxes are a distinctive color morph of the red fox, known for their elegant grey-toned coats that range from light silver-grey to a darker shade resembling that of common silver foxes. Excluding the Mansfield pearl and pearl amber types, pearl foxes are relatively common, especially in captive breeding programs.

First appearing in Minnesota in 1942, these foxes were initially culled in the United States but later gained popularity in Europe, where they were selectively bred. Their eyes are typically yellow or green, though brown and grey eyes also occur. Their noses are usually grey or reddish-grey.

Pearl foxes play a significant role in fox color genetics, as the pearl gene is a dilution gene. This makes them a foundational element in the development of many other color mutations within captive breeding programs.

Fawn glow fox

Fawn glow foxes, also known as snow dawn foxes, are sometimes confused with pearl foxes, lavender foxes, colicott foxes or amber foxes. Their fur is grey, noticeably lighter than that of the average pearl, and possesses a unique blueish-brown tint which makes it easy to distinguish from a true pale pearl fox. Some have more brown highlights, others more blueish ones, but the foxes themselves remain, however, very light grey, regardless of whether the dominant colour of the highlights on their fur is blue or brown. These stunning foxes have blue eyes, which, depending from which angle the sunlight hits them, can appear yellow or pink. Their noses are either bright pink, reddish-grey or reddish-brown. 

Mansfield Pearl Fox (AAbbss)

The Mansfield pearl is a distinct variation of the pearl fox, not to be confused with the more common Eastern or Western pearl types. Originating from a Canadian fur farm in 1938, Mansfield pearls are characterized by a unique brownish tint overlaying their otherwise grey fur, setting them apart from the standard pearl’s more uniform grey coloration.

These foxes typically have grey or reddish-grey noses, and their eyes may be brown, yellow, green, or grey. However, what truly distinguishes the Mansfield pearl—beyond its appearance—is its genetic fragility. These foxes are known hemophiliacs, meaning they bleed easily and have impaired blood clotting. Even minor injuries can be life-threatening due to excessive bleeding.

Mansfield pearls also carry Chediak-Higashi syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects various species, including mink, humans, and other animals. Because of this condition, breeding practices must be handled with extreme care. It is strongly advised to breed a female silver fox carrying the "ss" gene with a male Mansfield pearl, as female Mansfield pearls are at high risk of fatal bleeding during or after giving birth.

​Iris blue fox

The Iris blue fox is a rare mutation whose genetic background is not yet fully understood. Iris blue foxes strongly resemble silver foxes or dark pearl foxes, in the fact that their colour is dark, too. However, the resemblance stops there. Iris blue foxes have a very unique and distinct dark blue tint to their fur. It is a blue tint that is very different from the sapphire's or the fawn glow's. Their eyes are either yellow, brown, orange or blue and their nose, black or dark blue, the same kind of blue as their coat. 

Pearl Amber Fox

(AAbbggppss)

The pearl amber fox, also known as sapphire amber or pearl sapphire fox, is the rare result of combining the burgundy gene with the two previously mentioned pearl types (common pearl and Mansfield pearl). Pearl amber foxes are also known as sapphire amber foxes, although they share a striking resemblance to fawn glow foxes rather than to sapphires. They generally have a dark grey or greyish-brown nose, with either blue, yellow, greenish-yellow, or green eyes. Brown eyes are not excluded, either.

​Sapphire fox (AAbbppss)

Sapphire foxes are an exceptionally rare and visually striking color morph, resulting from the combination of two distinct pearl types: the Eastern pearl and the Mansfield pearl. Due to the rarity of Mansfield pearls and the complex genetics involved, the odds of producing a sapphire fox through this cross are just 1 in 64, making them one of the most difficult morphs to breed.

These foxes are known for their light blueish-grey fur, a unique and delicate coloration that sets them apart from all other morphs. Their noses are typically grey or pinkish-grey, and their eyes are most often blue or very light yellow, though grey and brown eyes can also occur.

The most defining feature of the sapphire fox is its distinct pale blue hue, which contributes significantly to its rarity and appeal, especially in breeding and fur industries.

Colicott champagne fox

The Colicott Champagne fox is a rare color morph of the red fox, originating in Quebec in the 1970s, known for its soft champagne or pinkish-beige fur, pale blue or gray eyes, and pink nose, with its delicate coloration resulting from a unique genetic mutation often associated with the "fire factor" gene.

Marble fox (AAbbWMw)

​Marble foxes are very common in the pet trade. They are predominantly white with a, usually, ''crown-shaped'' black pattern on the forehead, although the facial pattern can take any shape and also appear like a mask (when it covers the eyes too), black contouring of the ears and eyes and a black stripe, sometimes very narrow, other times, very large, going from their shoulders to either the end of their back or halfway on their tail. Their nose are only black and their eyes, brown, orange or yellow. Marble foxes are also known as ''arctic marble foxes'' (not to confuse with arctic foxes, Vulpes lagopus) or ''silver marble foxes''.

Red marble fox (AABBWMw or AABbWMw)

Red marble foxes, also known as ''sun glows'', which is their marketing name, are predominantly white with a crown or mask pattern on their forehead that can vary from light, faded orange to vivid red, a narrow or very large orange stripe that goes from their shoulders down to their elbows and all the way back to their tail, and generally, a black stripe on their tail. Red marble foxes have black noses and eyes that are either yellow, orange, or deep brown. The intensity of their orange colour is variable from one individual to another.

White marble fox

(AaBBWMWM, AAbbWMWM, AABbWMWM, AABBWMWM, ggWMWM, ggppWMWM, ppWMWM, etc.)

White marble foxes, also known as "all-white marble foxes," have a predominantly white coat, with subtle markings appearing as they mature. These markings include small spots on their ears and distinctive "eyeliner" around their eyes. Their nose color varies depending on the type of white marble fox, ranging from black, brown, grey, or pink. For instance, a pearl white marble fox typically has a grey nose and striking yellow or green eyes. Eye color also differs based on their marble variation: amber white marble foxes may have green or yellow eyes, while champagne marble foxes are distinguished by their blue eyes. Notably, these color spots develop over time and are absent at birth.

Champagne marble fox

Champagne marble foxes were first developed in Quebec, Canada. They are predominantly white, as are all marble types, with a crown or mask pattern on their forehead that is champagne-colored, a narrow or large pinkish-beige stripe starting from their shoulders and going all the way down their back to their tail and a pink nose, paired with the blue eyes of champagne foxes.

Cinnamon gold marble fox

Burgundy gold marble fox

Burgundy red marble fox

Cinnamon red marble fox

(AABbggWMw)

The cinnamon gold marble fox, also known as the burgundy red marble fox, burgundy gold marble fox, or cinnamon red marble fox, is a rare colour mutation first developed in Ontario out of a burgundy vixen and a fire and ice marble sire. There were five kits in the litter: two burgundy gold kits, one burgundy fire kit, and two burgundy/cinnamon gold marble kits. Cinnamon gold marble foxes, like all marble types, are predominantly white, with a crown or mask pattern on their face and a narrow or large stripe from their shoulders to their tail. Those markings on their face, back, and tail are, against all odds, not chocolate-coloured like you'd think they'd be for a cinnamon fox. Instead, they are a very pale golden-brown colour, similar to the colour of an autumn gold fox. Their nose is generally pale brown or reddish-brown, and their eyes are a very pale yellow, greenish yellow, or green. 

Colicott marble fox 

(brFbrFWMw) ​

Colicott marble foxes, not to be mistaken for burgundy marble foxes, lavender marble foxes or amber marble foxes, are predominantly white with an light brown-coloured crown or facial pattern, light brown-coloured ear contouring and a narrow or large pale brown stripe going from their shoulders to their elbows and all the way down their back, finally stopping in the middle of their tail. Their nose is either pale brown or reddish-brown, paired with blue eyes. Colicott marble foxes share an identical color with amber marble foxes. However, they can be told apart by their eyes: colicott marble foxes can only have blue eyes, whereas amber marble foxes never have blue eyes, only yellow, green, brown, or greenish-yellow eyes.

Pearl cross marble fox

(AaBbppWMw, AaBBppWMw, AaBBssWMw or AaBbssWMw)

Pearl cross marble foxes are the result of a silver marble fox bred to a pearl cross fox. The offspring are predominantly white and have the marble pattern (facial mask, large or narrow stripe from their shoulders to their tail, and down to their elbows too). The difference is that their pattern is exactly the same colour of a pearl cross fox, but with the white of the marble fox combined. The result is a tri-coloured fox: grey/pearl, orange and white. Their nose is grey or reddish-brown and their eyes are either green, yellow, brown or grey.

 Amber marble fox

(AAbbggppWMw)

Amber marble foxes, also known as amber glo foxes, are predominantly white with a light brown-coloured mark or facial pattern, contour of the ears and eyes, and a large stripe, also light brown-coloured, going down their back, from their shoulders to the middle of their tail. Their nose is brown or reddish brown, and their eyes are yellow, brown, green, or greenish-yellow. Although they have the same colour as colicott marble foxes, they can be told apart from their eyes: amber marble foxes never have blue eyes, whereas colicott marble foxes can only have blue eyes.

​Cinnamon marble fox 

Burgundy marble fox

(AAbbggWMw or brCbrCWMw)

Cinnamon marble foxes, also known as burgundy marble foxes or burgundy glo foxes, are predominantly white foxes with a chocolate-coloured mask or facial pattern, a rich brown ear and eye contouring, and a large or very narrow vivid brown stripe going down their back, from their shoulders to their tail. Their nose is chocolate brown or reddish-brown, and their eyes are generally yellow, brown, orange, and occasionally green. Although they look similar to colicott and amber marble foxes, they can be told apart by the darker and richer tone of their brown markings. 

Cross marble fox (AaBbWMw or AaBBWMw) ​

Cross marble foxes result from a silver marble fox bred to a cross fox. The offspring are predominantly white and have the marble pattern (facial mask, large or narrow stripe from their shoulders to their tail, and down to their elbows too). The difference is that their pattern is exactly that of a cross fox, but with the white of the marble fox combined. The result is a tri-coloured fox: black, orange, and white. Their nose is black, and their eyes are yellow, brown, orange, or green.

Pearl marble fox

(AAbbppWMw or AAbbssWMw)​

Pearl marble foxes are predominantly white with grey markings on the forehead, cheeks and back. The line on their back can be narrow or large, and can cover a part of the tail, too. Their eyes are usually yellow, green or grey. Their noses are grey or reddish-grey.​

Marble platinum fox 

(AaBbWMWP, AaBBWMWP, AAbbWMWP, AABbWMWP, AABBWMWP)

​Marble platinum foxes, or 'platinum-marble foxes', result from a breeding between a marble type of fox and a platinum type of fox. The result is a fox with, sometimes, the facial mask of a platinum fox, other times, with only the 'crown' seen in marbles but with, otherwise, the pattern of a marble fox (on the tail). The markings are not on their back; only on the tail and face.  The colour is also washed out, leaving the fox with pale markings and patterns. Because of the large possibilities of pairings (platinum red x pearl marble, platinum cinnamon x silver marble, etc.), the colours of the patterns can be washed out in orange, brown, amber, grey, and any colour that can exist on a platinum type and a marble type. 

Georgian white fox (AAbbWGw)

Georgian white foxes are, so to say, the Russian version of the silver marble fox. They are almost completely white, with black ears, randomly distributed black spots on their feet, muzzle and face, and black spots distributed in a 'line formation' from their shoulders to their tail. They may or may not have black eye contouring. Sometimes, they only have it for one eye. The distribution of the spots and patches they have do not seem to follow any kind of rule. Their nose is black and their eyes are most commonly either dark brown or brownish-orange. 

Georgian red fox (AABBWGw or AABbWGw)

Georgian red foxes are simply the red version of common Georgian white foxes. They, too, are almost fully white, with orange ears, randomly distributed orange and black spots on their feet, muzzle, face and back of the ears, as well as a line of orange and black spots, which sometimes appear to be merged into each other, going from the shoulders to the tail. Contrary to the marble types, the line on the back of the Georgians is always narrow, and cannot be large and go down to the elbows like for marbles. The eyes of Georgian red foxes are most commonly dark brown or brownish-orange, sometimes yellow. Their nose is black.

Fire and ice fox

​(AaBBpp or AaBbpp + fire factor) 

Fire and ice foxes have a very light, pretty, dilute colour. The dominant colour on their coat is a light golden beige, which can vary from extremely light beige (similar to champagne) to a lighter reddish tint. It is caused by the fire gene, which is known to dilute red and yellow melanin. Their feet, ears, and tail are grey, like the colour of a pearl fox, as pearl is involved in making fire and ice foxes and is known to dilute black melanin. Their eyes can be yellow, amber, brown, or green, and their nose can be either grey, reddish-grey, or black. 

Autumn fire fox 

(AABbppgg + fire factor)

Autumn fire foxes closely resemble fire and ice foxes. Like fire and ice foxes, the dominant colour of autumn fire foxes is golden beige, which covers the same areas of the body that a fire and ice fox would cover. However, rather than having grey ears, tail, and feet like fire and ice foxes, autumn fire foxes have them in brown (amber). Their eyes can be yellow, brown, or green, and their nose can be reddish-brown, red, or brown. 

Snow glow fox

(AABBpp, AABBppgg, AABBgg, AABbpp, AABbppgg, AABbgg + fire factor)

Snow glow foxes are unique-looking foxes. Their dominant colour is either white (which is most commonly seen) or pale golden beige, a beige very similar to fire and ice foxes or champagne foxes. Depending on whether the parents were pearl foxes or colicott foxes, snow glow foxes will have grey (pearl colour) or brown (similar to cinnamon) feet, ears, and guard hairs on their tail. Their eyes vary from green, blue, a pale blue/green combination, light yellow, brown, or grey. Depending on their parents' color, their nose can be either grey, reddish-grey, black, brown, reddish-brown, or pink. 

Moon glow fox

(AaBbpp or AaBBpp + fire factor)

Moon Glow foxes, also known as Arctic Fire or White Cross foxes, are the result of breeding a Pearl Cross fox, where the pearl gene causes dilution, with a fire factor-type fox. They exhibit the characteristic cross markings on their sides and forehead, ranging from pale golden beige to pure white. Those with entirely white cross markings are classified explicitly as White Cross foxes. The rest of their body—muzzle, portions of the face, ears, tail, belly, feet, and back—displays a grey hue similar to that of Pearl foxes. Their nose color varies, appearing black, grey, or reddish-grey, while their eyes can be yellow, brown, green, or grey.

Although Moon Glow foxes belong to the fire factor mutation group, they are often categorized under cross mutations due to their standard reference as White Cross foxes.

​

Golden sunrise fox

(AABb combined with the fire factor)

Golden sunrise foxes are gold foxes combined with the fire factor. They are paler than a wild red, and sometimes paler than wildfire foxes, too, with a very light orange coloration. Their feet, ears, nose, muzzle, and tail are black, and their eyes are brown, orange, or yellow. 

Cinnamon fire fox

​Burgundy fire fox 

(AABbgg + fire factor)

Wildfire fox 

(AABB combined with the fire factor)

Wildfire foxes result from a combination of a red fox and the fire factor, which causes dilution of the red coloration. Wildfire foxes have black feet, ears, a black tail, and black markings around the muzzle, but the rest of their body is pale orange. They are very similar in appearance to the golden sunrise foxes, resulting from a gold fox crossed with the fire factor. Wildfire foxes have a black nose and can have either orange, brown, hazel, or yellow eyes.

Amber fire fox 

Amber Fire foxes are a rare color mutation of red foxes, characterized by their warm, golden-toned fur and distinctive markings.

​Dakota gold (Bbpp)

​

​Dakota gold foxes result from a combination of a gold (red) fox and a pearl fox. Dakota gold foxes, also known as sapphire sunrise foxes and pearl gold foxes, vary in appearance from pale orange to yellow. Whatever their primary colour is, however, they all have a trait in common: their feet, ears, and tail are grey (pearl coloured). Their nose is black or grey, and their eyes are brown, green, grey, or yellow.

Autumn gold fox 

Amber gold fox

Amber red fox

(AABbggpp)

Autumn gold foxes, also known as amber gold foxes, result from the combination of a red fox type (gold, red) carrier of the recessive amber gene, with an amber fox. The autumn gold fox resembles any gold type fox (pale orange fur, sometimes almost yellow), but its feet, tail, and ears are light brown (amber colour). Its nose is brown, reddish-brown, and occasionally black, while the eyes can be brown, yellow, or green.

Cinnamon red fox 

(AABbgg)

Cinnamon red foxes result from combining a red fox carrier of cinnamon and a cinnamon fox. Cinnamon red foxes, also known as burgundy red foxes, cinnamon gold or burgundy gold foxes, resemble red foxes because most of their body is the same reddish orange found on red foxes or gold foxes. However, unlike the red and gold foxes, the cinnamon red fox's feet, ears, and tail are rich dark brown (cinnamon coloration). Its eyes are usually yellow, green, or brown, while its nose is brown or reddish-brown.
