In the begining of the 60's a woman in Riverside California named Ann Baker developed the RAGDOLL by breeding what was believed to be a white female persian- type cat to a sealpoint Birman. One of the male offspring was then breed to a female Burmese. This was the foundation for the RAGDOLL.

The Ragdoll was first recognized as a pure breed in 1965 by NCFA (now defunct). The following that achievement Ann did nothing further the RAGDOLL in the fancy. Fortunately, a new breeder a husband and wife team bought a pair from Ann and thought that the breed had to be accepted by varios associations in the fancy. And today the RAGDOLLS are accepted in all associations.
