ormally male Ragdolls are
noticeably larger than females, with an average weight of
about 7 kg or 15 Lbs. Of course, there are smaller Ragdolls,
too. But in general, the breed grows large and heavy, and was
even mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records - see our page
"Legendary Ragdolls - Ragtime Bartholomew". Full maturity
(color, fur quality, weight and size) is not expected for at
least 4 years. In a figurative sense you could compare the
Ragdoll breed to excellent wine: The longer you wait the
better a Ragdoll looks!
