Happytyme Obsession was the son of two of the foundation cats of Happytyme Ragdolls , of ‘pure english’ lines.

 

Obsession’s coefficient of inbreeding is 20.4 %, calculated on 5 generations.

 

How many pedigree’s trace back in only three generations to all Blossom Time, Patriarca and Pandapaws Ragdolls.

 

Obsession only had only four Petil lu Ragdolls in his pedigree, Obsession’s pedigree is unusual in that he has Blossom Time Bananas in his pedigree six times, Blossom Time Romeo only appears  four times. Obsession also has the full brother and sister of Patriarca Ragcowboyjoe and Patriarca Ragatwee close up in his pedigree. Obsession is only five generations away from Raggedy Ann Ragdolls and six generations from Raggedy Ann Kookie and Fugianna. Obsession  sired many beautiful Ragdoll babies, in the last few years of his life he had not been used at public stud. Obsession’s sire Pandpaws Cocomero spent his last years owned by Trendipuss and Happytyme catteries, we not believe he was a chocolate Ragdoll, although he was a unusual colour and many breeders including one of the authors of The Definitive Guide to Ragdolls thought he was a ‘bad’ chocolate.

 

Looking into Obsession’s pedigree his sire was ¾ Blossom Time breeding in only the second generation and totally Blossom Time bred in four generations.  There is no Blossom Time Romeo in Cocomero’s pedigree, which is unusual has he was the most used Blossom Time stud at the Petil lu cattery.  Catricat Ragaminty was line bred to Blossom Time Bananas, Blossom Time Proper and Blossom Time Prim.  As far as I am aware Catricat Ragaminty was the only breeding daughter of Suchfun Bronte who is return was the only daughter of Pandapaws Dominica. This makes the dam line of Obsession’s pedigree very unusual.

 

Obsession had fantastic eye shape with good eye colour, he had lovely head shape and a true Ragdoll coat. He passed all these on to his offspring. Many Obsession daughter’s have been wonderful breeding girls for Happytyme Ragdolls, we still have one of his first offspring Abbie she is his most look alike daughter born in 1997. He had a unique pedigree of very old lines. We have kept his daughters to breed from, especially as he carries dilute.

 

 

Obsession passed away on Saturday 25th December 2010, after a very short illness.
