Ladeda Dolls Welcomes You With Open Paws
Hi there and welcome to Ladeda Dolls, My name is Ebony, so let me tell you a little about us here at Ladeda Dolls, We are located in Belmont, Queensland, we have a bit of an extended family here with 1 dog, 2 kids, 1 horse and a turtle. For as long as I can remember I have always been known to bring home stray or hurt animals from all walks of life, so I guess it's fair to say I am very passionate about animals. Here at Ladeda we currently have 5 breeding queens and 2 breeding kings
A Bit of History on the Ragdoll
The first ragdolls were bred in the early 1960s by Ann Baker, a Persian breeder from California. General thought is that she created the foundations of the Ragdoll breed by selecting kittens out of Josephine, a semi-feral longhaired white female Persian/Angora, sired by several unknown Birman-like or Burmese-like cats, one with Siamese type markings. Blackie was the result of one of these early matings. He was an all black Burmese-like male as was Daddy Warbucks, a seal point with white feet. Daddy Warbucks sired the founding bi-colour female Fugianna, and Blackie sired Buckwheat, a dark brown/black Burmese-like female. Both Fugianna and Buckwheat were daughters of Josephine. All Ragdoll cats are descended from Ann Baker’s cats through matings of Daddy Warbucks to Fugianna and Buckwheat. By selecting cats with the look and temperament she wanted for her breeding program, Ann Baker created the standard Ragdoll.
Selectively bred over many years for desirable traits, such as large size, gentle temperament, and a tendency to go limp when picked up, the Ragdoll has become one of the most popular breeds of cat worldwide today.

Kittens
The Ragdoll is a large breed of feline. The kings usually weigh between 6 and 8kg with some being even heavier. The queens weigh between 4 and 6kg. They do not reach their full development until they are between 3 and 4 years of age.
They have stunning blue eyes, a sturdy body with a medium shaped head and a medium length coat that is silky soft to the touch and doesn’t matt like other long haired breeds. As such they are much easier to groom, care for and maintain.
Colours and Patterns
There are 6 colours accepted within the breed standard, these are:-
Blue: This colour can vary from slate blue to smokey blue/grey with the nose and paw pads being slate blue. The body colour is blue white to ivory in colour.
Seal: is a dark, rich brown in colour and can look almost black. The body colour should be a fawn to cream with shading over the back although sometimes it is possible for them to be a little darker. The nose and paw pad will be a dark brown colour.
Chocolate: These are very similar to the Seal (although rarer), however, the brown will be warmer in tone and will vary from a lighter milky chocolate to deep warm brown.
Lilac: will have points that are a lilac to pink-beige. Body colour will always be milky white and the nose and paw pads are mauve to lavender in shading.
Red: This varies from apricot to marmalade on the points with the body colour being creamy in hue. Some of the darker colouring can carry on to the body. The nose and pawpads are a softer pinky red hue.
Cream: This is a softer more dilute form of the red or flame colouring.
Patterns
Point: The colour appears on the ears, face (mask), feet and tail some colour may also appear on the body.
Lynx/Tabby: As the name suggests stripes appear on the face, tail, legs and at times on the body.
Tortie: Only appearing in females this occurs when a red or cream is mated with another colour. The colour combinations are red/seal and blue/cream, choc/red and lilac/cream (the last two are quite rare). The colours appear in patches on the body to varying degrees.
Torbie: Is a combination of Tabby and Tortie markings on the one cat.
Mitted: The front paws will have short white socks whilst the back will have longer white socks. The paw pads will be pink. A white chin and white stripe from underside of chin to base of tail is also part of the mitted marking.
Bicolour: The point colours are well defined on these cats. They have white extending in an inverted V shape from between the eyes extending over the ruff, lower body, legs and underside. The upper body colour is lighter than the points. The paw pads are pink.
Blaze: Some mitted cats can also have a spot or stripe of white colour on the nose.
