The "puppy cats" as Ragdolls 

Ragdolls trademark traits:

• Gentle, relaxed temperament
• Welcomes children and family dogs
• Fascinated by water
• Nicknamed “puppy cats” for their devotion to their owners

What they are like to live with?

They enjoy trotting along side members of the house and retrieving tossed paper wads. They enjoy activity more at ground level than some breeds who prefer surveying from high perches.

Be aware that your Ragdoll may join you in the shower or bathtub as they are highly intrigued by the sound of water.

Their super sweet, trusting nature can put them in danger. This breed should never be allowed outdoors without supervision.

Things you should know

The Ragdoll is on a fast track in popularity. It ranks second only to the Bengal in The International Cat Association and sixth in the Cat Fanciers Association.

This breed is slow to grow, taking up to four years to reach full physical maturity.

Its face features innocent-looking blue eyes, wide-set ears, a well-defined chin, and wedge-shaped head.

The body is sturdy, sporting a medium- to large-size frame, substantial muscles and bones and a characteristic fatty pad tucked under the abdomen.

Ragdoll kittens are also born white, but some slowly develop light-colored coats with Siamese-like darker points.

The Ragdoll offers a beautiful look of elegance with the benefits of a non-matting, low-shedding coat that feels soft and silky. Just run a steel comb one or two times a week to remove loose hairs and keep the coat looking its best.
 
Weight:  Male: 15-20 pounds  Female: 12-15 pounds

History

A Persian cat breeder named Ann Baker is touted for creating this breed in the 1960s. She bred a neighbor’s longhaired white cat named Josephine with male Siamese and Persians she owned at her Riverside, Calif. home. The result produced sweet tempered kittens with non-matting coats.

This breed garnered its named from the popular myth that they go completely limp when picked up – just like a rag doll.

Ragdolls compete for championship status in all major cat registries except for the Cat Fanciers Association. Since 1993, the CFA has granted Ragdolls to compete only in the miscellaneous class.

The tail is thick at the base with feathering along the underside. Dewclaws may be removed. The water-resistant coat is dense with a firm, straight, or wavy outer coat. There is an untrimmed feathering on the underbelly, back of the legs, front of the neck and underside of the tail. Coat color comes in cream to a rich golden.

These are lovable, well-mannered, intelligent dogs with a great charm. They are easily trained, and always patient and gentle with children. Charming, devoted and self-assured, they are a popular family dog. Energetic and loving, Golden Retrievers enjoy pleasing their masters, so obedience training can be very rewarding. They excel in competitions. Friendly with everyone, including other dogs, the Golden Retriever has very little, if any, guarding instincts. While unlikely to attack, Goldens make good watchdogs, loudly signaling a stranger's approach. This breed needs to be around people who display leadership to be happy. The Golden Retriever may become destructive and/or high-strung, over-exuberant and distractible if he is lacking in daily mental and physical exercise. Be sure to remain this dogs firm, but calm, confident, consistent pack leader to avoid behavioral issues.

The Golden Retriever needs to be taken on a daily, brisk, long walk, jog or run alongside you when you bicycle, where the dog is made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as instinct tells a dog that the leader leads the way and that leader needs to be the human. In addition, they like to retrieve balls and other toys. Be sure to exercise this dog well to avoid hyper activity.

The smooth, medium-haired double coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush, paying particular attention to the dense undercoat. Dry shampoo regularly, but bathe only when necessary. This breed is an average shedder.

History

Originating in the Scottish Highlands in the late 1800s, the Golden Retriever was developed by Lord Tweedmouth, by crossing the original yellow Flat-Coated Retriever, with the now extinct Tweed Water Spaniel. He later crossed in the bloodhound, Irish Setter, and more Tweed Water Spaniel. The dogs were called the Golden Flat-Coat and only later were they given the name Golden Retriever. The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular breeds known today, not only as family companions but for obedience competitions, hunting and tracking, as a bird dog on both land and in the water, narcotics detection, service dog for the disabled, a guide for the blind and as a therapy dog.
