The Russians ran an experiment. They took wild wolves into captivity and only allowed the docile pups to breed. In like eight generations all the pups became friendly dogs.

No they did that with foxes.
Given enough time and selective breeding, tame foxes would happen.

The physical appearance also changed over that time. They began looking more juvenile. Basically domestication is a suspended development of adulthood. True for humans too.

The Russian fox project is yielding some wonderful pets.
