There was a Russian experiment done with wild foxes kept in captivity, within a few generations they developed floppier ears, spots and curled tails in correlation with reduced cortisol levels as they became more acclimated to humans.

Not quite with the Russian foxes. They were rigidly selected for friendly, non aggressive behavior. The sweet ones were bred with other sweet ones generation after generation until only sweet ones were born.
