Big news, Silver Fox breeders!
The Silver Fox have officially been removed from the rare breed list in ARBA’s just-released update. This marks a huge milestone in conservation and growth for our breed. The Silver Fox were the first breed ever to graduate from The Livestock Conservancy’s list — we literally helped write the rules that made it possible. This is a true success story, and we couldn’t be prouder. Check out ARBA’s official post for the full announcement — and let’s celebrate this incredible achievement together. This success is the result of every breeder’s dedication, collaboration, and hard work. Together, we’ve proven what’s possible when a community unites behind a purpose.
Congratulations to everyone that has contributed to this historical achievement!
STAY FOXY!
