Free gameMarket price about 100 carrots

Glossy black with flame-tan trim, posed like a show dog. Knows exactly how good it looks.

The real Tan

The real breed comes from England. Appeared in England in the 1880s, from wild rabbits crossed with Dutch rabbits. A dark coat with rich tan on the belly, the eye rings and under the tail.

What the standard asks for

  • not a dwarf
  • upright ears
  • a normal coat
  • no mane
  • a solid coat
  • a coat in the otter family
  • size at most 45

A rabbit that meets every point counts as a Tan; among breeds it meets, the game counts it as the one whose standard it meets on the most points.

What the judge looks at

Once a rabbit meets the standard, the judge scores how close it is to the breed's ideal. Every point away costs it.

  • size: 30 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • ear droop: 0 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • ear length: 50 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
