An ongoing collection of breeder tips
provided by our own RFW breeders. Please feel free to share anything you have
found to be a good product. Different cats have different coats. You may need to
try several products before you find the one that works best for each cat. The better our Ragdolls look in the show hall, the
better we represent our breed to the associations and to the public!!
Lets help each other to be the best we can be!!
