Ragdoll colours

Information:

Ragdolls were developed in the 1960’s by Ann Baker, a breeder in California.
She breed Josephine, a loving, gentle, longhaired white female carrying Siamese markings, to other longhaired cats carrying Siamese markings.
Her original stock consisted of sturdy, free-roaming cats.
By selecting individuals with the look she wanted for her breeding program,
she created the type standard for the Ragdoll.

Ragdolls are large, loving, laid-back longhairs with beautiful, big blue eyes.
The body is light-colored, with darker Siamese-type points on the face, legs,
tail and ears. In most patterns, the points are partly covered with white markings.
The ideal Ragdoll is a well balanced cat, with no extreme features.
Altered males may reach 9 kilo (20 pounds) or more, females are proportionately smaller.
Ragdolls are slow-maturing, reaching full coat color at two years,
and full size and weight at four.

Ragdolls adore their humans. They run to greet you at the door,
follow you from room to room, flop on you, sleep with you, and love you.
They are gentle, carefully avoid scratching people, and
are good with children, the elderly, and dogs. Ragdolls tend to be floor cats, not jumpers.
They feel that humans prefer purrs to yowls and keep their voices softly musical. A Ragdoll should not under any circumstances roam outside alone.

We breed Ragdolls in all five patterns: bicolor, mitted, colorpoint, lynx point and Tortie point.
We breed traditional colors seal and blue as well as red, creme, tortie and tabby.
