Baby Tans

Aww so cute!!! I don't believe that we have Tans around here! Would be really neat to see onein person!

OMG you are killing me with their cuteness. You should send one my way XD

More cute pictures for you guys to aw at!!

Got the Dana and Sinatra babies sexed. Now to come up with names! I'm thinking of staying with the mobster names theme so if anyone has ideas?!

This is the black buck! Baby looks just like his daddy!


A chocolate buck


The chocolate doe I am keeping to replace momma. The two boys and Dana are gunna go stay with Elizabeth when they get old enough!


Me and a baby


Now my moms polish babies! Evaluations would be awesome!
Her new broken black jr doe


Her black buck MP3. He was long and narrow in his shoulders at first but they have bulked up now that he's gotten older. Interesting. . .


And her little junior doe that I absolutely love and I hope she doesn't change! She is about 10weeks old. Any ideas on if she might change?

OMG! Love the little black Tan baby! He's looking, like, "Really? Again?" LOL Plus I love that dark black against the mahogany. I'm not going to try to evaluate the Polish, because I don't know enough about them (and how much or how little they change from babies to adults). But out of them all, I like the junior black doe. She looks like she has really nice type.

Words cannot express how much I love Tans, love that chocolate tan doe, she's really beautiful. I think that's part of why I fell for Bandit when I say\w him because he has a slightly similar marking scheme (apart from the points of course) to tans except in grey and white.

Do you/have you watched The Sopranos? It's by far my favorite show and it's about mobsters. You could name the black one "Sil/Silvio" or "Paulie" or "Tony". I had another name listed here but apparently it can't get past the sensors and I can certainly see why, lol. It would be a nam hard to explain at a rabbit show. I vote "Silvio" for the black one!

I don't lol. His last litter I named the two girls after his two daughters (nancy and tina) and then the boys were associates of the rat pack (Willie moretti, Costello, and Luciano) then Dino was named after dean martin and sam was so named after sammy davis junior. Silvio is cool sounding. Hmm I'm thinking of Ava (after ava gardner) for the girl. Maybe Joey (after Joey bishop), Momo, Mooney, or Salvatore (after Sam Giancana), I might even do the black buck as Frank or Francis since he looks so much like Sinatra. Ah I don't know so many choices.

Oooh pick Salvatore. I love that!

I am so loving those tans, they are all so gorgeous. I know nothing about Polish but I just love the little doe, she is just lovely.

Names are great, love them all and I really like Salvatore. Lovely bunny family you have :thumbup

Aaww stop! Now you are making me want a tan too!

Aww, they are so so so adorable! I'm going to have to stop looking at this thread, or I'll end up with a bunch of tans, lol. They are so adorable!

Wendy you should post up some of your polish babies!! I know you have some from the pictures on facebook LOL

Thank you everyone! Im going to try to get more pics when I go home this weekend and it is decided the chocolate buck will be named Salvatore and tattooed SAL I really like the name Ava for his sister. Now to just decide on the black buck. Hmm I like Francis but it sounds more girly but Frank doesnt sound like a show bunny name lol. I will have to ponder this one

Yes, I like Salvatore, Sal for short. What about Antonio for the other one, Tony for short?

LOVE THIS IDEA :hearts

They're beautiful!
I'd so get one if I lived closer.
How big do they usually get, by the way?
I'd really like to have another bunny that's a larger breed. =)

Yay names have been decided upon

Competitve tans only get to 4-4.5 lbs but the standard says they cannot get above 6lbs.

Here are some pics of the babies I haven't checked for white toenails yet but now thinking about it I probably will tomorrow. I don't know if Ill be able to tell but maybe? I let the tans, baby polish, and my moms other polish (the black junior doe) out together. Enough talk here ya go!









Antonio

Salvatore


My little doe Ava is so skittish. She is gunna need mucho handling. Poor thing


Shes hiding with the polish

You're killing me with the cuteness here, and Bandit's getting jealous

I'm guessing white toenails are a fault? Are they common, even when breeding from animals that don't have them, do they just crop up randomly? Or can you remove them from a line?

White toenails are a disqualification from show in the US. I believe they were discussed earlier in my thread on page 29. Kelly (aka zaogirlo5) made some really good comments about them. The problem is that overseas rabbits are not disqualified for white toenails so any rabbit with imported lines can have higher chances of throwing that.

They normally are associated with dilute colors such as blue. They shouldn't be common in a rabbitry but aren't unheard of in one to just pop up. If they pop up in a cross that cross shouldn't be repeated BUT Sam was an amazing tan that could have won many Best in Shows except for the fact that she had white toenails. Even her chocolate brother was as beautiful as she. I just had to repeat this breeding and I am going to try my best at watching out for them whenever I breed this chocolate doe. To make it simple this cross created beautiful animals that I had to take a chance on.
