well the breeder of titan...no way, she told me ragdolls do not shed, and when i finally got his papers she said his parents are both blues...wtf?? and also he has a hook at the end of his tail i was never told about this and she also said his entire face would be white LOL so in general i didnt really like her or click with her but i fell in love with titan.
now seinnas breeder i would go back to in a heart beat. she is the most lovliest person i have ever met and siennas socialisation skills is not her fault as she was very sick and in hospital for most of it.
Leyla, is from Megailee Ragdolls, Gail.
We would go back in a heart beat..You only have to look at our Leyla to know we have gotten a health, happy, social, beautiful kitten . We not only got a great kitty, but a great breeder that I know will be there for us, and Leyla with tips and advise.
As much as we love Cello and think he is very special we would not go to his breeder.
I would say probably not. When I was a new breeder I let emotion take over and ignored the red flags. Too many cats or cats in unheated walk-in cages in a garage are not for me. Also extremely fearful kittens are usually unsocialized or not kept in the main part of the house with people. A three year old who squeezed the kittens in front of me most likely really does it when no one is looking also.
Health, personality, as close to standard regarding appearance, and a responsive breeder are top qualities for me.

You need to ask yourself why the majority of Ragdoll breeders worldwide have rejected the inclusion of solids and that most breeders working with solids are newbies. The Ragdoll breed, excluding solids, has grown and is now the second most numerous breed in TICA. IRCA Ragdolls, who included solids in the later years, have gone out of existence. One needs to be careful about the formula for success developed by the breeders who got Ragdolls to their position today - as a blue eyed, pointed breed only. What are the breed credentials of these folks to tinker with the breed?
the father is a show winner and registered as a velvetdoll.
As stated before..Aurorapetz are fantastic..knowledgable and very experienced...I welcome the Self Coloured ragdoll into NZ and many agree... enough said on my part
And some would welcome shorthaired, curled ear and tailless Ragdolls. Enough said. ; )
If you really wanted a self coloured 'Ragdoll' why not get a ragdoll cross? There are plenty of byb's breeding them.
My first breeder was probably the reason why I got into breeding so I have much to thank her for, BUT.... I wanted to breed this gorgeous breed so that people would not have to go to breeders like her!!
Since being introduced to Sue when I was looking for a stud cat for Lola I haven't looked back. She has been helpful, informative, supportive and a wonderful friend. The last 3 girls, Evie, Blossom and Susie, all came from Sue and all of the kittens I have bred have been from Sue's studs so yes, I would most definitely go back to her. How many other breeders do you know who will base her breeding programme on providing stud boys for me? Thank you Sue.
