About Brent

Brent was born in my third Brandywine litter, and was one of seven littermates, four boys and three girls. Although I'm not 100% sure yet that he's cinnamon rather than silvered mink, I think he has a touch too much brown for mink.

Brent is named after the River Brent. He and his siblings are named after rivers of London, to celebrate the fact that their mother Grace came from a rattery in London.
