Ragdolls and British Shorthair.....

I went to the bookstore today and read a few cat breed books which gave me next to no information.....

But I did alot of reading online and took what you all said into account and I think I have narrowed it down to a ragdoll or a british shorthair.....

now I would love your opinions on these two breeds ......
this is a big decision for me, my husband thinks I am nuts to buy a cat but I dont see that it is any different than getting a purebred dog.

I found a ragdoll breeder in Quebec but havent found a british shorthair breeder... I would love any input you all might have.
thanks

tadaaa! british shorthair breeders! http://www.kittysites.com/breederByL...horthair.shtml

I love the British Shorthair's face... But, IMO, I would adopt a homeless kitty..

My friend has made it clear that she would like a purebred, perhaps we could help her find breed-specific rescues of british shorthairs and ragdolls?

I'm glad you're considering adopting a purebred cat from a rescue! Good luck with your search!

Hello and welcome.. I'm kinda new at this but am glad I found this site. It has been extremely helpful and informative.

Congrats on bringing another furmember into your family. Here are some Ragdoll Rescue sites, that may be of help to you. I also have links to a few Ragdoll clubs that have available older Ragdolls that have been retired from showing or breeding. Good luck on your search for a British Shorthairs or a Ragdoll.

OK folks I think rescue is a wonderful thing.... I work in breed rescue myself but that having been said I am going to go to a breeder..... I have five dogs in this house and while they are good well behaved dogs they are dogs none the less.... I also have a parrot and another cat who I dont think wil ltake kindly to my adding an adult kitty.

I really feel that we will do much better with a young kitty so I am going to go to a breeder. What I am having trouble with is determining breed temperment differences between these two breeds and could use some help with that.... but while I appreciate the rescue information and I will check it out, the likelihood is that I will be headed to a reputable breeder.
thanks
