In case you should know, there are now twenty extant genera of dogs (family Canidae) and there is no such thing as a "true fox", the Vulpes genus is now currently restricted only to the red foxes and contains only three extant species: the Eurasian Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), the American Red Fox (Vulpes fulva), and the African Red Fox (Vulpes barbara), the other eleven extant species are now relocated to three separate genera that are more closely related to both the bat-eared fox (Otocyon megalotis) and the raccoon dogs (genus Nyctereutes) The tibetan fox now belongs to the monotypic genus Neocyon with its scientific name now being Neocyon ferrilatus The corsac fox, arctic fox, swift fox, and kit fox all now belong to the genus Alopex with their scientific names now being Alopex corsac, Alopex lagopus, Alopex velox, and Alopex macrotis respectively And the bengal fox, blanford's fox, ruppell's fox, fennec fox, pale fox, and cape fox all now belong to the genus Fennecus with their scientific names now being Fennecus bengalensis, Fennecus canus, Fennecus rueppellii, Fennecus zerda, Fennecus pallidus, and Fennecus chama respectively The species in the genus Fennecus are believed to be the closest living relatives of both the bat-eared fox and raccoon dogs and the species in the genus Alopex are believed to be the second closest, leaving the red foxes as the most basal and distantly related from all the other groups and the tibetan fox of the monotypic genus Neocyon to be more derived than the red foxes but basal to the Alopex + (Fennecus + (Otocyon + Nyctereutes)) clade
