AHC: humans domesticate foxes in ancient times

What if humans domesticated foxes like they did dogs??? It is technically possible, given the experiments in Russia, but was not done outside of an experiment. If this was done successfully, what would be the impact and what would it be used for that dogs, a distant relative, cannot be used for???
 
The biggest problem--we already have dogs and cats, and dogs have a huge adaptibility in terms of breeding which was known from ancient times.

I think the best case is to somehow get an ancient version of that experiment, with a wealthy eccentric amongst the Romans or Chinese (perhaps) breeding foxes to be friendly.
