Cat shows are open to the general public (In the afternoons) and are a great way of viewing many different breeds in the fur. Giving you the opportunity to meet new people, whilst coming away with a selection of cat food, litter and toys of all shape and sizes. A list of shows can be found on Http://Www.Gccfcats.Org/Clubsnshows.Html and you may find one in your local area.We have been fortunate to show our ragdolls (who have been bred by other breeders) for the past 6 years and have met some lovely people and learnt a great deal about the breed as a whole. Below are some photographs of our ragdolls and their show success to date. We look forward to one day taking our own Ardendolls Raggies out on the showbench. In 2012 we began to take some of our homegrown babies out on the showbench. We hope to add their successes below shortly | ||||
