So, far only other foxes (actually, one fox, one vixen). Maybe someday people will learn enough about DNA to make foxes, but for now it's only the vulpines [a fancy word for foxes] doing it.

It's a principle of genetics that only members of a species can have offspring of that species. Dogs can't have kittens, nor cats puppies.

Now, if one could look back millions of years, we might find a creature that wasn't quite a fox, and whose offspring weren't quite the same as itself. Those could have been the first foxes, but the change from non-fox to fox would likely have been very, very subtle (hard to recognize).

We're pretty sure something like that happened, maybe more than once because we now know that somewhere, sometime (probably about 15,000 years ago in what is now northern China) a wolf gave birth to a pup that grew up to be a dog. Maybe someday, somewhere (probably the mid-21st Century, in Russia) a new kind of fox will be born that will come to be called something other than a fox.

But for the time being, only foxes make foxes.
