Breed introduction: Mating a male silver fox with a female blue fox produces kits that are silver frost foxes; they cannot be kept for breeding, but such fox pelts are valuable and priced slightly higher than native blue fox pelts.

The fur is thick and plush, the coat color is gray-blue and glossy, the guard hairs are even, and the paws have dense fur, making it suitable for severe cold climate conditions.

The lifespan is generally 8-10 years, the usable period is 4-6 years, sexual maturity occurs at 9-11 months of age, estrus occurs from mid-February to early May each year, it breeds only once a year, and the gestation period is 52 days.

The group average litter size is 8-12 kits, with a maximum litter size of 24; newborn kits weigh 60-90 grams, adult foxes have a live weight of 8-12 kg, pelt length is 110-113 cm, and 80% of pelts fall between size 0 and size 00.

The annual survival rate reaches over 95%; it tolerates coarse feed, is easy to manage, has strong disease resistance, and has a high litter rate.

The silver frost fox's fur is thick and solid, making it a rare top-grade pelt.

Silver frost fox farming will have broad development prospects.
