First of all, it is important to know that both dogs and foxes are members of the family Canidae, along with jackals and wolves, but they are members of a different genus, namely that dogs belong to the genus Canis, while foxes are members of the genus Vulpes.Â
However, most of the time, foxes are confused with certain dogs, but they are still very different when it comes to their personality traits, lifestyle and behavior. For example, foxes have long and thin legs, a pointed snout, upright triangular ears, and a bushy tail – but in this article, you will find out that there are actually a few dog breeds that look just like foxes. Hence, foxes can live for up to 5 years, unlike dogs that can reach up to 13 years.Â
