Tans (Chocolate, Lilac, Black)

Tans are an old breed that has unique markings and striking coloring. They originally come from England where they have been shown since the late 1800's. Tans are often referred to as the “Aristocrat of the Fancy”.

Tans are a full arched breed. Rabbits with this type show an arch starting at the nape of their neck, running smoothly over their shoulders, mid section and hips. Typical arched breed rabbits will display more depth than width. Tans have a very lean, compact, well balanced body. They are visually striking because of their unique markings, contrast and intensity of their coloration. Their fur is slick and glossy. Tans are raised as a fancy rabbit, not for fur or meat.

There are four varieties(colors) in the Tan breed: Black, Blue, Chocolate and Lilac. All four varieties have identical "Tan" patterns. The Tan coloration is an intense, deep red color that is consistent from it's chest through it's tail. A Tan in it's prime will about take your breath away - it is a stunning and beautiful rabbit. Tans are a very intelligent and gentle breed.
