We had a great time this past weekend at the Central Jersey TICA Show held at “the Castle”. Always one of my very favorite shows that I aim to make it to each year. I haven’t had anyone “too serious” to show over the past couple years, so we took out 3 of our girls to try and add to their titles- and they all did very well among a large, quality class of 11 Ragdolls. The breed wins and finals were pretty well spread among the competition, which was great so everyone got a bit of recognition (I counted that of the 11 Ragdolls, 9 of them were Best of Breed in at least one ring)! It was a great show to see some friends I haven’t seen it quite a while- but there wasn’t enough free time to catch up with so many, which was a shame! ❤️
TICA RW DGC WillowTreeRags Sweet Peach, our 3.5+ yr old Seal Tortie Point Bicolor female attended the show and brought home 4 Best of Breeds and 3 finals!
TICA CH WillowTreeRags Pixie, our 2.5+ yr old Seal Torbie Point Bicolor female attended the show and brought home 2 Best of Breeds and 2 Finals.
TICA CH WillowTreeRags White Lotus, our 1.8 yr old Blue Point Bicolor female attended the show and brought home a Best of Breed but unfortunately wasn’t called back for a final.
Each of our girls placed in breed many times throughout the weekend.
A highlight was being able to cheer on WillowTreeRags Galaxy of Ragpurfect and see her bring home 7 finals at just 5 months old and a female. I’m excited for her future. 🏆 Thank you so much to my friend Lois Miu for taking her out and showing her proudly. ❤️
I attached some of my favorite videos from judging/finals. I particularly like the commentary by TICA Judge Adriana Kajon on Peach, as well as our other two girls, and I appreciate her time spent on trying to thoroughly evaluate each Ragdoll. Thank you to ALL of the judges who found our kitties worthy of their finals- we know the completion was stiff among each class and each final was very much appreciated!
