Had posted this elsewhere, but here it is again haha! One's I've seen wild in bold.

1.) (Vulpes cana) Blanford’s fox
2.) (Vulpes chama) Cape fox
3.) (Vulpes corsac) corsac fox
4.) (Vulpes lagopus) arctic fox
5.) (Vulpes macrotis) kit fox
6.) (Vulpes pallida) pale fox
7.) (Vulpes rueppellii) Rueppell’s fox
8.) (Vulpes velox) swift fox
9.) (Vulpes vulpes) red fox
10.) (Vulpes zerda) fennec fox
11.) (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) gray fox
12.) (Urocyon littoralis) island fox
13.) (Cerdocyon thous) Crab-eating Fox
14.) (Lycalopex culpaeus) Colpeo Fox
15.) (Lycalopex griseus) Argentine grey fox
16.) (Lycalopex gymnocercus) pampas fox
17.) (Lycalopex sechurae) Sechura Fox
18.) (Lycalopex vetulus) hoary fox
19.) (Canis adustus) Side-striped Jackal
20.) (Canis anthus) African wolf
21.) (Canis aureus) golden jackal
22.) (Canis latrans) coyote (also wild)
23.) (Canis lupus) gray wolf- including Dingo & Domestic Dog
24.) (Canis mesomelas) black-backed jackal
25.) Canis simensis) Ethiopian wolf (wild only)
26.) (Canis rufus) red wolf
27.) (Chrysocyon brachyurus) maned wolf (also wild)
28.) (Cuon alpinus) dhole
29.) (Lycaon pictus) African wild dog
30.) (Nyctereutes procyonoides) raccoon dog
31.) (Nyctereutes viverrinus) Japanese raccoon dog
32.) (Otocyon megalotis) bat-eared fox (also wild)
33.) (Speothos venaticus) bush dog

Missing:
1.) Short-eared Dog
2.) Darwin's Fox
3.) Bengal Fox
4.) Tibetan Fox

You can imagine being this close I'd love to complete the set! 3 of those shouldn't be too difficult to get wild, but Short-eared Dog would likely be the biggest hurdle.

I'll have a chance for the first 2 missing ones on an upcoming South American trip and could also add a couple wild that I've already seen captive.

Besides coyote, red fox and domestic, all were zoo specimens.

I think more than a lot of major mammal groups, a lot of zoos are just skipping out completely on canid representation. I don't mean to sound like a 'species collector' but I think it's a little ridiculous if you have a large collection and can't manage even one canid, and two would probably be ideal for a major collection.
