Ragdoll
The floppy cuddler
Named for their tendency to relax limp in your arms, Ragdolls are big, blue-eyed softies built for snuggling.
A little history
Developed in California during the 1960s, the Ragdoll was bred for its docile temperament and silky semi-long coat. Its name comes from the breed's signature habit of going completely limp when picked up.
Temperament
Mellow, affectionate, and gentle, Ragdolls greet their people at the door and follow them around like loyal shadows.
