Our Ragdolls

We have fallen in love with this special breed of cats.

Jill first became interested in Ragdolls after loosing her cat that she had for twelve years, Little Guy. Little Guy (who was a girl) had the softest bunny type fur. When we lost her, Jill wanted another cat and researched and found the ragdools. They have a soft bunny like fur and are known for their puppy like personality and extra large size. At the time, we couldn't fustify spending the rather high prices which one will find ragdolls to be. This year though for Christmas, Eddie was set on giving Jill a ragdoll. Eddie found a wonderful breeder, Ryan Fuller of RagLegends, who lived in College Station, Texas. It was a wonderful surprise and we picked him up right before Thanksgiving. That little kitten was everything that we had read about the ragdolls being. He was not afraid of anything (one of the reasons a ragdoll can never be let out) and had a personality of a little monster, but in a good way! An awful tragedy happened over Christmas and we lost our beloved Sinatra. We contacted Ryan and he currently doesn't have any kittens but we will be obtaining another kitten from him in the near future.

We have obtained another ragdoll, Dallasrags Baldasar Nakr, as the house seemed to be so empty without the tinkering of a cat. This ragdoll is not the same as Sinatra but alot of that is due to his poor upbringing and lack of socialization. If you are looking for a Ragdoll breeder, please contact us before going to any of the breeders in the Dallas area. We would like to give you our personal experience with these breeders. Baldasar is coming out of his shell and in time will hopefully be as well socialized and as loving as Sinatra. He has came a long way so far! He is very beautiful but not quie all Ragdoll, there is a Ragamuffin in his pedigree that is 'hidden' there. The sepia coloring has been added in an outcross done to a Ch Ragmuffin stud back in the mid ninty's. Almost all "minks" can be traced back to this one breeding. The breeder of my kitten assured me that the lines were pure and he could trace his kittens all the way back to the original ragdolls, which is unfortunatly, not correct. The male ragamuffin utilized in the breeding of that original outcross to get the sepia color that produces the 'mink' colors was outcrossed to a persian three generations (I believe, I don't have it in front of me and am by no means an authority on ragdolls) before the breeding with the ragdoll female. In ragamuffins, outcrossing are allowed in their standard but there are also guidelines (which one can only imagine, were not followed). I was informed of this and sure enogh, with just a little research, that is where my little Baldasar comes from. Still a very beautiful kitten, but goes to show you that some breeders will do anything to 'breed' what they want without regard for the breed itself.

Baldasar's father, Tedd. On his papers it says -Adroableragdoll Big Teddy of Jervis

This is Baldasar at 6 months. He has came around and is a little teddy bear and enjoys a good new toy (a ne w piece of paper that still has that crunch/crinkle sound).

We will update pictures as Baldasar grows
