HISTORY OF THE RAGDOLL
Ragdolls Light Side / Dark Side
On January 1, 1970, these were the only Ragdolls in the whole world, a total
of only 65 Ragdolls. Ann Baker up until this time was the ONLY Ragdoll breeder,
she produced other kittens, but these 65 were the only ones Ann registered
as Ragdolls with NCFA. They were ALL BLUE EYED, POINTED Ragdolls. They were
all seal pointed except for Thumper Jr who was the first lilac/blue. Denny & Laura
Dayton bought their first breeding pair Rosie & Buddy from Ann in 1969
becoming the first to buy a breeding pair from her. Bob Minter bought Pancho
Villa & Melonie from Ann and later sold them to the Daytons. Phil & Nancy
Delano had bought Pecos Bill & Orphan Annie from Ann but found her hard
to work with, and sold both Ragdolls to the Daytons. A lady named Opel Jensen
bought 5 female Ragdolls from Ann Baker and wanted out, she sold Terri Lee
70, Miss Chef 70, Lolita 70, Miss Cat 70, & Opal 71 to the Dayton's.
Denny also bought Lovable 71, and had him altered and used him as his salesman
in the cattery. After only a few minutes with Lovable, the potential buyer
was ready to buy their first Ragdoll. Denny & Laura now owned 12 Ann
Baker Raggedy Ann Ragdolls.
