At last count 21 with more on the way (fingers crossed) in another couple weeks. Tans are the breed I started with several years ago and I love them. As mentioned, they are not a docile rabbit, so if you're expecting one you can put on your lap and sit with for hours, well, you need to start looking elsewhere. They are an active, arched, running breed and when shown, they are judged while moving (running) on the table. They are not judged in a posed position like most other rabbits. They are extremely curious and will check out everything, and like has been said, will spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get out of whatever you have them in. They try even harder when in the show coops on the judging table. LOL. Which is why you spend a lot of time with your hands draped over the front keeping the wire down and the Tan in until called for. Temperament wise, the bucks are more laid back than the does, who tend to get cranky particularly as they mature or become ready to breed. The does make great mom's, even first timers, at least mine have. I currently have Black, Chocolate and Blue in my herd. While most of my herd carries the dilute gene, I get very few Lilacs in litters. Tans, also, always breed true, so you're not going to get mismarked kits in litters. Most of the differences will be in the quality of markings - i.e. how straight the demarcation lines, how wide the chest color, how shaped is the triangle, etc. Hope this helps. Again, I wouldn't be without my Tans.
