Moselle was born in my third Brandywine litter, and was one of seven littermates, four boys and three girls. Moselle is friendly and beautiful little girl. Her mink colouring in conjunction with her Essex markings makes a lovely soft grey colour, and the light undercoat which she has inherited from her mum Grace gives an effect similar to pearl. Moselle's gradation to her white belly is very patchy, so she doesn't have show quality markings. I put off breeding from Moselle as she was a little skittish as a kitten, but she has grown and matured into a steady doe. I can't remember the last time she spooked at something.
Moselle is named after the river Moselle. She and her siblings are named after rivers of London, to celebrate the fact that their mother Grace came from a rattery in London.

Very pretty. Nice short claws. Very active. Slips out of the hands like soap. Quite nosey, but not excessively cuddly. Lovely whiskers. (JB)
