About Effra

Effra was born in my third Brandywine litter, and was one of seven littermates, four boys and three girls. Effie is a lovely little lady who will sit still in my hand for a bit of fuss, and enjoys chasing my hand in circles too.

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