Heatherdale is the holder of the ARBA Certificate of Development for Tan Texels ~ please contact us if you are interested in continuing this exquisite color line.
Tans are an attractively marked variety similar to Tan rabbits or Doberman pinscher dogs. They come in several shades of black, lilac and more. Download the complete Tan Texel standard of perfection.
A COD (Certificate of Development) for a new cavy variety is awarded only to longtime ARBA members in good standing.
Heatherdale may present the Tan Texel results after three years, in 2013. We must complete three successful presentations of the breed in a five-year period before a panel of judges at the ARBA National Conventions, and we cannot fail two presentations in a row.
Once our presentation is successful we will be able to show Tan Texels as a variety at ARBA-sanctioned shows.
We are proud of our efforts in producing fine show-quality Tan Texels and even those individuals who don't measure up to our breeding standards make gorgeous, cuddly pets!
