The Progressive Ragdoll Breed Cat Club was founded in 1993 by a small group of friends who owned a variety of breeds. The Club is affiliated to the GCCF, sends a delegate to Council and comprises half the Ragdoll Breed Advisory Committe where matters relating to ownership, maintaining Breed standards and judging at Shows are discussed.
Aims of the PRBCC 
- To promote interest in the breeding and exhibiting of Ragdolls of all colours and patterns under GCCF rules;
- To ensure the continued health and wellbeing of the Breed in general;
- To establish friendly working relationships with the Breed Clubs and individual breeders involved;
- To establish and maintain a comprehensive Welfare/Rescue scheme for the Breed;
- To offer help, advice and support to owners, exhibitors and breeders;
The Club hold an annual Show, usually at the end of July and in the Redditch area, south of the M42. We are one of the only two specialist Ragdoll Championship Shows held in a year.
THE RAGDOLL
The profile of a superior breed of cat. Whatever misinformation is spread about the Breed, the Ragdoll is a large, gentle and affectionate cat. It can become attached as most dogs do to its owner.
The three patterns in which the breed is found are colourpoint, mitted and bicolour. These patterns are then found in seal (a rich dark brown), blue (slate grey), red (ginger) and cream (dilute ginger). Chocolate (milk chocolate) and lilac (a pinkish shade of blue) are also possible but rarely seen. The colours can then produce torties (a mixture of red with seal or chocolate, or cream with blue or lilac). A tabby pattern is also available in the colours.
The majority of Ragdolls make good house cats in that they do not miss the outdoor life as long as they have enough to stimulate their active minds indoors. They need durable toys and scratching poles, they remain kittens at heart well into middle age!
When choosing a kitten, decide if you want it solely as a pet or whether you have hopes of showing it. Make your intentions clear from the outset to any breeder that you approach, if you intend showing, be aware of the Standard of Points (SOP) although any kitten will only have potential, future success cannot be guaranteed.
Ideally, before purchasing your kitten for whatever purpose, visit a few Shows to look at cats and discuss with exhibitors - they always enjoy talking about their cats!
