Hi! I'm Jenny, and I'm a Ragdoll breeder now located in Arizona. More about me coming soon!

What is a Ragdoll?
Many people ask me what breeds were used to develop the Ragdoll.
Ragdolls are not a mix of any recognized breed of cat. They were developed in the 1960's by Ann Baker, a breeder in California. She bred "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 come in three patterns and several colors. The patterns are based on the distribution of white or the lack of white markings.
The Colorpoint Ragdoll has no white markings.
The Mitted Ragdoll has white "mitts" on its front paws, white "boots" in the back and a white chin. They may also have a star or blaze on the face, but it shouldn't extend through the nose leather.
The Bicolor Ragdoll has the most white. They have a white inverted 'V' on their faces with the white not to extend past the outside corner of the eye. The white on their front legs should come up to the elbow and the back legs are white.
The color of a Ragdoll is based on the color of the 'points': ears, face, legs, and tail. I breed only the traditional seal and blue point Ragdolls, but they also come in flame (red), cream, chocolate, and lilac, and some have stripes through the point color which is called the lynx point. There are now tortoiseshell and tortie with lynx (torbie point) Ragdolls. When you describe a Ragdoll you use the color and the pattern such as: Seal point mitted or Blue point bicolor.
