We are the Stadter family; Amy, Ralph, Aydria, Ashleigh, Alana and Christopher, and we live with our Ragdolls and our Australian Shepherd Ruby in Aglasterhausen, Germany. We fell in love with Ragdolls in 1997 and have been showing, breeding and learning about them since then. We are hobby breeders and our animals are an important part of our family life. Our cats and kittens (our studs too!) live underfoot in the house.
Because we currently have a *very* full schedule due to our busy family life, we maintain a relatively small (but very high quality) breeding program. :o) As our kids get older and spend more time in pursuit of their own hobbies, mom and dad spend more and more time playing taxi and trying to keep up with their school and free time activities. Because we also have a second passion (Quarter Horses!), there never seems to be enough time in a day! That's why we've decided that the best way for us to be able to keep serving the breed we love is to keep our program small and our quality top. We have raised a few of the most successful Ragdolls across the globe in the show ring, but we are even prouder of the consistently winning purrsonalities of our cats and kittens.
