Ragdolls with Championship or Provisional status which have only Ragdolls who have been registered on the Full or Supplementary Register in their pedigrees within the preceding five generations shall be placed on the Full Register.

 

2. SUPPLEMENTARY REGISTER

Ragdolls with Championship or Provisional status which have only Ragdolls in their pedigrees within the preceding five generations shall be placed on the Supplementary Register.

 

3. EXPERIMENTAL REGISTER

Ragdolls with Preliminary status which have only Ragdolls in their pedigrees within the preceding five generations, shall be placed on the Experimental Register.

 

4. REFERENCE REGISTER

1. Cats which conform to a recognised Ragdoll colour and pattern, bred from a mating between a Ragdoll and one of the permitted outcross breeds as defined in A, B or C above, shall be registered on the Reference Register as Ragdolls.
   
2. Cats bred from a mating between a Ragdoll and one of the permitted outcross breeds as defined in A, B or C
   above, but which do not conform to a recognised Ragdoll colour and pattern, shall be registered on the Reference Register as 'of Ragdoll type'.
3. Cats of Ragdoll appearance bred from any mating other than Ragdoll x Ragdoll, or Ragdoll x one of the permitted outcross breeds as defined in A, B or C above, shall be registered on the Reference Register as no recognised breed and with no progression
   

 

NB IMPORTS

Imported Ragdolls with a certified pedigree showing five generations of Ragdoll breeding shall be registered as the first generation on the Supplementary or Experimental Register.

 

Any cats of Ragdoll appearance bred from any mating other than Ragdoll x Ragdoll, or Ragdoll x one of the permitted outcross breeds as defined in 4a, 4b or 4c above, must be overstamped, ‘must not be used for Ragdoll breeding’. No progeny will be recognised as Ragdolls.

 

Should any further colours of Ragdoll be developed as a breed, the appropriate cats may be registered as Ragdolls on the Experimental or Reference Register as appropriate, at the request of the Ragdoll Breed Advisory Committee. Those cats already registered on the Reference Register, but which qualify to be registered on the Experimental Register, shall then be treated as if they were registered on the Experimental Register.
