Camelot Haven

Everyone should hold a Ragdoll, once before they die.

Camelot finally has babies. See kitten 2008.

Menu is on the bottom of the page, I don't know why.

A lot of my photos are courtesy of the Ragdoll owners, and I can not put into words, my joy, when opening one of these e-mails and finding a snap of one of my babies. Some are harder to give up than others, but none of them are easy.

Camelot's e-mail

This is Gunner, a male seal colorpoint. He was

to be a stud, but they changed their minds.

And this is Gunner, 10 months later. Not the

strong,silent type either. This guy talks.

Frito Bandito, Male seal mitt.

He's now over a year, and a big tease.

Bandit, over a year old.

Looks like he can sleep anywhere.

Sparkey (Nevada Blue) about 8 weeks

Blue mitted bi. Male and so sweet

yep! This is Sparkey, or Buster Boo because he

wrestles with dogs and wins. 17 pounds and growing.

At the urging of my sister, I will introduce Nilaka Lite. He is Camelots newest member and our only stud. Al Clare is my sister and she likes colorpoint seals. She also helps with meds and anything else I need. Thank God. Wrestling with an adult Ragdoll is comparable to these cowboys that tie a rope around 3 legs of a calf. Hummmm! No, no, I was just kidding.

Nilaka Lite, a lilac bi. He's about one year old.

Courtesy of Utah Rags. Thank you, Kelly

Reb, he's a seal lynx cp

One of the largest I've ever had.

This is a baby UB. Leader of 11 more babies that

summer. Lost all my hair.

This is UB

Door getter, lover, and big armfull.

Ub and me Thanksgiving 2007

UB Was my pied piper at 4 months old.

UB again, a seal lynx mitt. UB lives with Dee and

Robert and 4 other Rags and 2 domestics.

Leggo and me, at the computer. What else would

you expect from a computer nerddoll.

Jada, she's not a lap cat, but she is so pretty

And you never have to go to the potty alone.

Leggo and Capo, still running Las Vegas.

Moma says, she just loves to sit and watch'em.

I'm just looking! And we're looking at that belly

female seal .

Reo at 2 weeks. Dreaming the dreams Ragdolls

dream. Quiet and sweet.

My name is Janet, I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I have been breeding Ragdolls for about 10 years.

I have spent the last few months testing the breeders at Camelot for HCM. A new sure fire test became available to us in July of 2007, which would tell us if we were breeding with the possibility of HCM in our lines. HCM is a killer in some instances and a life shortner at best.

Camelot has tested negative/negative for both the Ragdoll and Maine-coon HCM, going all the way back to Tenaj and Nikki.

Is there a possibility of a new strand of HCM developing, someday?? Always!!

In order to stomp HCM out, all breeders of Ragdolls need to test their own breeders. Some have chosen not to. Do yourself a favor and ask for the printout of the HCM test results of their breeders before buying a kitten. This is not an expensive test, and even if it was, you don't breed kittens to die.

Below is a link to the HCM studies that have occured for the Main Coone and Ragdoll. Might give you a better understanding of what we were up against.

This is not lab data and doctor speak, it's a true story of one of our Ragdoll breeders. The heart break of not being able to know if you are breeding with HCM or not, and what she did to fix this. AND a happy ending.
