"Jeff" was our first imported Brit and sold to us by Ann and Harry Smith.  He had the most amazing eye colour and very short crispy fur.  Jeff was cuddly and affectionate, living with my daughter.  Just a couple of days after his 10th Birthday at his annual veterinary check up and vaccination, the vet found fatal cancer in most of Jeffs scull.  He was promptly put out of his pain and is still sadly missed!
