I will be adding more information and photographs to my web site on a regular basis.
My name is Carol Griffiths and I live in the lovely Teifi Valley, West Wales, which is where the name for my prefix came from, with my husband David, two dogs and of course my cats. We moved to Wales in 2002 from Lancashire.
We live in a traditional Welsh cottage that has been extended with about two acres of garden. We grow a lot of our own fruit and vegetables and I make my own chutney, jam, pickles and do a lot of baking, so along with my cats this helps to keep me very busy.
It has always been my desire to breed these beautiful cats and I have finally fulfilled my ambition. This would have not been possible without the love and support of David and lots of help from the two lady's who had trust and faith in me to allow me to take home two of their kittens which got me on the road. A big Thankyou goes to Susan for Kaz and Nikky for Lilly.
My Ragdolls are pets who live in the house with us but they have an outside run, with lots of toys, shelves and scratch posts, so that they can get some fresh air and see a little of the outside world. They love to sit on the shelves and watch the birds on the bird table. My cats are used to lots of visitors, dogs and every day household noises such as the hoover, washing machine, telephone ringing, radio, television and the not so everyday lawn mower, chainsaw, hedge trimmer, strimmer and the occasional fighter jet or helicopter flying over. My Ragdolls are registered with the G.C.C.F. and I am a member with T.B.R.C.C. and P.R.B.C.C. My aim is to breed happy, healthy kittens.
This is Luke.
He was born in July 1997. As you can see he is a liver and white Springer Spaniel. Luke is a very placid, laid back, loving spaniel when he is about the house not a total lunatic like most springers. I think the only time he goes a little mad is when he is working. When it comes to feeding time Luke sits patiently while the cats dig into his bowl first, he only eats when they have decided they have had enough or do not like what is on offer.
This is Jake.
He was born in June 2003. Jake is Luke's son. He is bigger than his dad and very loving but a little more wound up. Hopefully he will settle down when he gets a bit older! Jake loves the cats, he is very gentle with them, always giving them a wash from which they end up wet through. He loves swimming and diving in the river off the rocks in the village.
This is Allie.
She was born in November 1998. Allie is half Maine Coon and is a big, heavy cat with the longest whiskers I have ever seen. She loves to lie in the sun on a chair in the conservatory. Allie is a real mother hen, anyone makes a noise and she is there to see what is the matter.
This is Benjamin.
He was born in July 2001. Benjamin's dad was a farm cat and his mum a Bengal, he is a big, muscular cat. My Ragdoll girls love him to bits, they think he is their hero. Lilly loves to play with his long tail, even when he is eating and he never bothers. He is a big softy.
