I looked into the “domestication hypothesis” which is when animals are more friendly to humans they’ll develop associated characteristics like white spots, floppy, ears, blue eyes etc…but I don’t know if that’s really universally accepted among animals that are not selectively bred by humans? If friendliness and colors are truly linked, then you’ll see a disproportionate number of oddly-colored canids in your photos because those ones allowed themselves to be photographed. However the data is inherently troublesome, because how do you know the colors of animals you’re not photographing? Trail cams can help but tbh there are a lot more community scientists on iNaturalist than funded studies! And trail cams can also affect results because they might attract animals who are behaviorally different, ie more curious about novel human objects.  

The third and safest answer is “it’s a mutation.” However that doesn’t tell you much because literally all characteristics are mutations. I also wonder if any of this is really specific to canids - they are special because they can breed with domestic animals, but there aren’t a lot of really highly-domesticated deer around for the deer populations to breed with.
