How to Go About Buying Your Breeder (Continued)

Be sure you buy your cats from a breeder who has been breeding for a while, and has shown their cats. A new breeder will not know a good kitten from a bad one. They just don’t have the experience. Ragdolls take a long time to mature, and just because a kitten is perfectly marked, doesn’t mean it will automatically be a show cat. A breeder needs experience (with Ragdolls in general, and with the lines they are using) before they can pick a good breeder/show kitten, even at 10 to 12 weeks old. An experienced breeder knows that no cat or kitten is perfect, and can (and will) point out any feature that needs work on. It will be up to you to put that cat with another cat to bring out the best in the kittens.
