The Tan is an inquisitive and active breed, that reaches an adult weight of 4 to 6 pounds. Our breeding program primarily includes Black and Blue Tans but we also dabble with Chocolates and Lilacs as well. At the 2006 convention, our Lilacs were the 1st place junior doe and 1st place senior buck. The junior doe was the BOSV. We have a particular passion for the dilutes of this breed. Gorgeous and breathtaking, all at once!

ALL of our Tans are registered with ARBA. The roots of our lines come from the best Tan breeders in the United States and we also encorporate imports from Greyhound Stud in England.

The Tan has a body type all its' own. It is neither extremely heavy, nor extremely thin, and the body should balance with the length of limb. Tans are an arched breed, and should carry itself well off the table, allowing the beauty of the markings to show. The markings should be clearly defined, and the tan color should be carry well from the chest to the tip of the tail. The depth of tan factor tends to be a bit more of a challenge in the Blues as they are a dilute color.

We've found our Tans to be delightfully intelligent rabbits. We provide them toys for entertainment - paper tubes, card board boxes, plastic balls with bells inside, plastic rings, and multi-level cages. We haven't figured out yet who's being entertained more - the rabbits or us. Tans are a very affectionate rabbit but most aren't cuddle bunnies. They like to be pet and admired and are good for a hug but they want to explore on their own. We spend a lot of time working with our Tans just because they are so much fun to interact with - they are a rabbit loaded with personality and spunk.
