 RW. SGC. WillowTreeRags' Apollo Amadeo
& CFA CHAMPION TICA INTERNATIONAL AWARDS (2007-2008): TICA INTERNATIONAL AWARDS (2006-2007): Test Results for HCM Ragdoll DNA Mutation: Negative Apollo is our very handsome Seal Point Mitted. He is one of those special cats you can sit and admire all day long! He loves to be hugged and cuddled, a trait he passes on to his kittens. He is my baby, and sleeps with me every night like a big teddy bear. I couldn't imagine my life without him by my side. "Polly" is very loving, and easy going not only with people, but other cats as well. He is constantly purring and loves to give me big hugs! He is our largest male, and was born at our home, where he has lived his whole life. He has been very successful in the show halls, and has really held his own with outstanding competition. We thank Rene Knapp for giving Apollo his "BEST CAT" final in Montreal on November 24th, 2007, which means he is now a SUPREME GRAND CHAMPION! Newsflash: Since CFA just accepted the mitted & colorpoint patterns this year (2008) we have been showing Apollo in CFA. He has been doing very well, and we've received some very honorable remarks from the judges that we are very happy about. He currently has 138 grand points, we hope to make him a Grand Champion by the end of the year! I want to thank Walter Hutzler, Gary Veach and Lynn Search for finaling Apollo, and for their wonderful compliments! One judge even said that HE wanted to be the one that Granded Apollo! Thank you so much for your constant love of Apollo!
Test Results for HCM Ragdoll DNA Mutation: Negative Hans is our other home-grown king. He is the last litter of Lady Abigale Byers (our first queen), and holds those first founding, traditional WillowTreeRags lines in his pedigree. Hans is a very fluffy male, with the most bright, sparkling, vibrant blue eyes you will ever seen in a ragdoll! He is perfectly marked, and although he doesn't love the show hall, he has achieved his Triple Grand Champion status! Hans is a very playful cat. He loves the kittens, and always rolls around and wrestles with them with soft paws. He is just the sweetest Daddy any kitten could wish for! He also loves his females. He loves grooming them, and laying down by their side with a paw reached out to touch them. We will be keeping some girls from him to be our new queens since his lines are some of our very favorite. In the future, he will most likely be replaced with a male son of his in the future. News Flash: We took Hans to a show at 3 years old where he placed in breed in many of the rings, and received a 5th Specialty Final. He also picked up a couple Best of Breeds. The reason we had not shown Hans as a kitten and a young adult was because he did not enjoy the grooming aspect. We decided to try him once more and he didn't mind it too much! Despite him being a bit stubborn with the judges, he was pretty good! Hans was awarded his Triple Grand Champion title, and we're now planning on taking him out for the rest of the year, to hopefully gain some points, and possibly show him until his Supreme Grand Champion title! Hans is mom's baby and will forever stay at the cattery. We love you "Hans Fritz"! Pictures below are of Hans at almost 3 years of age, if you compare these pictures to the ones above taken when he was 8 months, you can see the change in the darkness of his color over the years.
WillowTreeRags' Upcoming Kings QGC. Tatjana Tao Shang of WillowTreeRags TICA Quadruple Grand Champion & CFA Champion Seal Point Bicolor ("True Bicolor") Test Results for HCM Ragdoll DNA Mutation: Negative
This is our wonderful new boy, Tao. He came to us all the way from Spain! I saw Tao for the first time in a picture early Spring 2008. I had been looking for a new special unrelated male to add to my lines, with a wonderful traditional pedigree, perfect type, big boning, beautiful eye color, and outstanding markings. I saw Tao for the first time on a Ragdoll Breeder in Spain's website. I fell in love with him the moment I saw him, and I just couldn't stop thinking about his stunning traditional ragdoll looks, and his extremely sweet expression. I e-mailed the breeder who owned him right away, asking her if she was anticipating on any litters from him within the year. I waited for her letter anxiously, as I wanted a beautiful kitten that looked JUST like HIM! Well as luck will have it, about a week passed, and I received a letter from her. She said she did not plan on having any litters from him, but since I seemed love him so much, she would gladly offer him to me if I wanted him, as she planned to retire him. I suppose it was destiny, he is the EPITOME of what a ragdoll should be, and I am so happy to have him in my home where he will be loved to pieces! Tao gets his stunning looks from his father, FIFE EUROPEAN CHAMPION STENSTAGARDENS' NIKE PATRIARCA, a VERY handsome Blue Bicolor. We are so honored to have him here, he has such strong lines behind him, we're sure he's going to be a joy and strong asset to our breeding program. I want to thank Patricia Santos Perez of NaorahRagdolls for sending him our way, as well as his breeder, Tatjana Frerichs of Tatjana Ragdolls, who bred such an amazing ragdoll. We look forward to doing this boy justice in the show halls in the 2008-2009 show season (current season).
WillowTreeRags' Claus Hansen
Blue Point Bicolor ("True Bicolor") Test Results for HCM Ragdoll DNA Mutation: Negative Now introducing, our new home-grown boy, Claus! He is a wonderful Blue Point Bicolor male, he has very vivid blue eyes! He looks JUST LIKE his father Hans, with LARGE paws, perfect type, and outstanding markings (an outstanding "V" on his face). This boy is handsome, handsome, handsome! We know Claus is going to grow into quite the cat. He will be incorporated into our breeding program late 2009, and we're so excited to get another top quality cat from DGC. WillowTreeRags' Hans Donsen. The legacy lives on within this boy. He will start his showing career in TICA & CFA in November 2008. He has such a traditional, pure, ragdoll pedigree! We LOVE him!
