There are about 27 differend breeds of foxes but there is argument that there are only 10 'true' foxes. This may be due to the fact that foxes have been cross-bred over the years for their fur (an example being the silver fox).
I can't tell you off the top of my head how many there are, but there are significantly more than 4 as the previous answer said! There are somewhere between 20-25 individual species of foxes, as well as numerous subspecies. There are several debates as to whether some foxes are their own species or subspecies, so it all depends on who you ask. In North America alone, there are the red fox (which includes several subspecies in this and other countries as well as different color phases including marble, silver, etc), the gray fox, island fox (including 6 subspecies island fox living only off the California coast and highly endangered), Arctic fox, swift, and kit fox (some say swift and kit are the same species). There are also many other species. To name a few we have: fennec, crab-eating fox, South American gray fox (completely different than our gray fox and thought to be extinct), bat-eared, culpeo, cape, small-eared dog, ruppell's, tibetan, indian, pale, darwin, the chilla, sechura, azaras, corsac, and I may be missing some. Also some people say that the maned wolf and raccoon dog are also considered foxes. There are "true foxes" of genus Vulpes, Urocyon, Otocyon, and Alopex.

Foxes are classified by species, not breeds. Dogs and cats have breeds. There are 12 species of true foxes (red fox, fennec, etc.) and about 13 other species that are commonly included as foxes even though they differ considerably from true foxes. The gray fox is an example. It looks like a fox but is more cat-like in behavior and structure.
