There are so many dog breeds in the world today that it can be overwhelming to choose one to take home with you. Different breeds come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and colors, but those differences don’t make any one breed less adorable than the other! Of course, if you are searching for the perfect dog breed, it helps to have a few criteria in mind. Are you interested in dog breeds that look like a fox? In this list, we’re going to look at the top fox-looking dogs.
Shiba Inu
The Shiba Inu is an adorable Japanese dog that looks like a fox. This small-to-medium-sized dog has a lot of personality, and its elongated snout and russet fur make it look just like a fox! The Shiba Inu is also known for being an especially clean dog breed. The Shiba Inu was originally bred for hunting, and this dog will gladly accompany you on any hiking trip!
Eurasier
Eurasiers are medium-sized dogs with lovely thick coats. Their long muzzle, bushy tail, and pointed ears all make the Eurasier look just like a fox! This is a calm and friendly dog breed, although Eurasiers tend to be shy around strangers. They are incredibly loyal to their owners, however, and they thrive in family settings.
Korean Jindo
The Korean Jindo is a dignified dog breed. This breed does best with just a single owner, as Korean Jindos are extremely loyal to one person. It is an intelligent breed that was bred for hunting, which makes the Korean Jindo incredibly active and agile.
Pomeranian
The Pomeranian is an adorable small dog that looks like a fox. Pomeranians have bushy tails, pointed ears, and a long muzzle. Their most common coat colors are typically ginger or red (although they do come in many more) which makes them look even more like a miniature fox! Pomeranians may be tiny, but they have a huge personality. They are always on the go and are sure to keep any owner’s life interesting.
Keeshond
Keeshonds are lively and friendly dog breeds with an adorable, foxy face. The markings near their eyes resemble spectacles, which makes this breed all the more charming. Keeshonds are native to Holland, but this lovable breed is now popular all over the world.
Finnish Spitz
The Finnish Spitz is another dog that looks like a fox. They have curled and bushy tails, almond-shaped eyes, and alert and pointed ears. Their coat is a beautiful golden-red. They tend to be wary of strangers, which makes them perfect guard dogs.
The Finnish Spitz is a lively breed, but if you aren’t a huge fan of loud dogs, this may not be the breed for you! Finnish Spitz are so vocal that many owners even enter their dogs into the “King Barker” competition in Finland.
Volpino Italiano
The Volpino Italiano is a lively little breed that is popular in Italy. However, this dog is not well known in the west, so it is not yet recognized by the American Kennel Club. Surely, though, this dog’s charming personality will help it become more popular in America, as well!
German Spitz
The German Spitz is another dog breed that looks like a fox. This intelligent breed is incredibly easy to train, and German Spitz often make good watchdogs. They are incredibly devoted to their owners, but they tend to be wary of strangers.
Norwegian Elkhound
The Norwegian Elkhound may look aggressive, due to their muscular shoulders, but they are quite calm. While they can be a bit reserved to start, once they get to know you, Norwegian Elkhounds become best friends for life. This is a sturdy breed that is well-suited to guarding or competing in agility courses.
American Eskimo Dog
If you are searching for white fox-looking dogs, the American Eskimo is a perfect choice! This dog comes in three sizes; toy, miniature, and standard. This is an incredibly social breed that thrives in a family setting. They are confident and prefer to be given plenty of attention.
