- Abstract
The article discusses the farm breeding of red foxes which started in Eastern Canada in the late 19th century and where several new coat color variants were identified with the Georgian white (GW) morph first being described at Bakuriani farm in Georgia in 1943. It notes that a mutation in the KIT gene causes platinum coat color in foxes and suggests that GW is caused by mutation in the KIT gene.
