My thanks to Sharon Pye Farley of Windwood Ragdolls for letting me in the door when it came to Ragdoll breeding.  Every Ragdoll breeder I spoke to in the Houston and surrounding areas wouldn't give me the time of day, much less sell me a breeder, but Sharon was the pleasant exception.  She laughingly told me over and over again that she wouldn't be my 'Mentor' when it came to breeding Ragdolls, then she spent countless hours on the phone with me talking about Ragdolls and telling me the lessons she'd learned over the years.  With a Breeder friend like Sharon, who needs a Mentor ???  She has spent years in the business and prior to selling King Arthur Pendragon to me, she had never sold one of her cats, or kittens, with breeding rights.  Sharon went out on the proverbial limb for me when she first sold me a kitten with the Windwood Ragdolls Cattery name on him, along with the breeding rights to go forth and multiply, and I will certainly do all I can to uphold the excellence and pride that she has maintained for Windwood Ragdolls Cattery over the years.  Additionally, in the last year, I have gotten other breeders from Sharon and for her to continually entrust these cats into my care is a big pair of shoes to fill....and each day I fill them as best I can and say a quiet 'Thank You' to 'Mama Sharon', (as I call her to all the cats I got from her), because without Sharon's help, Queen Of Hearts Ragdolls would still be a dream in the making, instead of the healthy, happy and productive Cattery it is today.....
