New colours for the Ragdoll

The T.I.C.A, one of the major cat clubs in the United States has accepted new colours for the Ragdoll, against the wishes of a large number of "traditional" breeders..

Rosauris Drego Bred by Diane Mackey & Andy Lamacraft.	All the pointed colours and patterns Seal, Blue,Chocolate, Lilac(Frost), Red and Cream are accepted. Due to their rules, are also accepted, Cinnamon and Fawn. Patterns: Solid Point, Mitted, BiColor and any of these three combined with the Lynx and/or Tortie pattern. It would seem that the C.C.A. in Canada also recognizes the Lynx pattern but not the additional colors.

To the best of our knowledge only Ragdolls are being used to produce these new colours. Outcrossing to
other breeds is not sanctioned.
The majority of the "outcrossing", is being done to old IRCA Ragdoll lines. This includes the Ragamuffins.
The Ragamuffins are really former IRCA Ragdolls with a new name. There are some old-time IRCA breeders
in the U.S.A. who were heavily involved with Ann Baker and a number of them have had the Lynx Points and the Reds for quite some time.

In France the situation is somewhat alarming, as we have knowledge of unscrupulous "breeders" who do not hesitate to outcross to Birmans, Persians and goodness knows what else. The resulting kittens are sold as ragdolls!

Please take great care if any breeder offers you a Ragdoll in these new colours. Ask to see the parent's officiel pedigree, and don't hesitate to contact us before buying one of these "specimens" if you have any doubts concerning these Ragdolls.
