Ragdoll Congress 2008

USA Ragdolls had the pleasure of showing at the
6th International Ragdoll Congress in Rosemont, IL
on March 28-30, 2008. This event brought over 130
Ragdolls from around the world to compete against
one another for recognition at this prestigious show.
We had a wonderful time, met some great new friends,
as well as some old ones. We took with us 3 of our own
 babies, and some good friends also had some USA Babies with them to compete in a Ragdoll kitten class  with
over 40 Ragdoll babies entered! We were very pleased
with our results and would like to share them with you...

(It is very hard for colorpoints to compete against the
Mitted and Bicolors. They are not as "Flashy" since
they do not have any white markings. For this wonderful
girl to have done so well is remarkable, and we are so
proud of her. Thank you Barbara for this Beauty!)

And we saved the Best for Last, our Gorgeous...

Tribute continued to show extremely well the
rest of the weekend and even with the toughest
competition we have ever seen, and missing the last
3 rings of the show due to a minor emergency she
still earned a HUGE, Gorgeous rosette for being:
3rd Best of the Best Ragdoll Kitten in Show!!!

 

It was such a fun and eventful weekend. If you didn't
notice 4 of our Babies ended up being in the top 10 of
all the Ragdoll Kittens in the Congress. WOW!!
We were so excited and very Proud of these young
 babies. We look forward to further success from
these Shining Stars!
