Fell in love with my Loki's sweet face when Mary sent us his photo. She was easy to communicate with, very informative for the most part, and kept us updated for the most part. She was very kind, and we adore Loki! I'm putting 4 star only because he had an upper respiratory infection/eye infection (that's normal in kittens) but I wish she had let us know in advance (it had to have been obvious because he was sneezing a lot since the moment we got him) It's going away ‍ and regardless he is a very happy, FUNNY, adorable, brave little guy! He's growing so much already. The best I would still recommend Mary and might get another kitten from her again in the future :)

After our beloved 20-year-old Ragdoll cat passed away, we knew we wanted to get another Ragdoll kitten. While researching reputable breeders near me, I found Mary's website and reached out to her. When she sent me photos of the available kittens, I immediately fell in love with a blue bicolor Ragdoll. She quickly adjusted to the rescue kitten we were planning to adopt, and since then, they have become the sweetest and most playful duo. I'm so happy I found Mary; she made the entire adoption process smooth and easy.

Mary's communication was excellent. We would get frequent updates, and got great recommendations for things leading up to her pickup. Bombón is now 6 months old! She's very playful but very sweet and affectionate. Very hungry girl too!

If my kitten is any indication of Mary's broader breeding expertise, she may be the best there is in Ragdoll breeding. She raises truly perfect kittens, and what a wonderful sweet woman to communicate with. Quick replies to any questions, provides information for how to prepare for kitten, sends photos and videos unprompted. Mary also sends home food, toys, and a blanket that smells like home to help kitten acclimate. The toys she sent were favorites for both our kitties, like this breeder clearly knows cats! Meeting her made me feel so good our kitten had been raised by such an obviously genuine, loving person. Pictures also do not do these kittens justice. Gorgeous, silky fur, velvet paws and heart melting cuteness. My kitten's exceptional temperament is almost unbelievably. Purred and held my hand the whole ride home, adjusted to our house and our family almost immediately. She is incredibly affectionate, comes running when I call her. So smart, learned her name in less than 2 days! She wants to be everywhere we are, always purring and snuggling. She isn't afraid of anything like the vacuum or music or any loud noises. Clearly raised underfoot, getting used to all the household sounds. Perfectly potty trained and such a good eater. So cute, she just sits patiently in front of the fridge or next to her bowl to let me know she's hungry. She and our older cat became fast friends, playing so sweetly and gently. When she gets tired, she just puts herself into bed! She loves our German Shepherd and seeks her out to touch noses. We couldn't imagine a more amazing kitten, and everyone who meets her gasps at the same. Mary will forever be in our hearts for this beautiful gift to our family.

We picked up our beautiful Ragdoll kitten and could not be more happier. Little Kaia was definitely worth the wait! She has such a great personality and loves to cuddle. Mary not only breeds beautiful kittens, but they have wonderful, friendly temperaments as well. Mary was wonderful and very responsive to all my emails during this whole process. She truly cares about her kittens and wants what is the best for them. Our kitten is healthy and happy and I would definitely buy another kitten from her again. I highly recommend Furrealragdolls!

We just bought our beautiful boy Winston from Mary a month ago and we are so in love. He is the best cat I have ever had. He is so loving and so good with my daughters. I highly recommend Mary if you are looking for a ragdoll kitty. You will not be disappointed.

We had a great experience with Mary. She was very communicative and kept me updated until we made a deposit for our baby and then with pictures in the weeks leading to pick up. Tulip is an angel. Sweet, fluffy, and growing so much. She blended in perfectly with our two older cats, and within three days they were all friends. If you're getting a ragdoll you probably know what you want in a cat, and Mary's cats will give you exactly that!

I bought my beautiful rag doll cat, Cocoa (he's a boy) in late September of 2012. He will be in 8 on July 6th and he is without a doubt my favorite cat I have EVER had. He has the absolute best and sweetest purr-sonality. He is so chill and relaxed, but also so affectionate. He's wonderful with my children, and he has grown up with them. I look forward to getting another rag doll from Mary sometime in the next few years. I have bought many pure bred cats over my life, but no breeder has been as wonderful as Mary! She's a gem!

Motivated cat seeks position as professional mouser.

This lady breeds the best cats I have ever seen. Totally adjusted to people. Mine goes to the door when the doorbell rings, greets visitors like a dog and is unfazed by anything. Beautiful markings and the best disposition ever. Follows me around the house all day long. You can get a cat at a rescue, but at the end of the day, it's a gamble. As a paramedic for many years, I have seen kids get bitten and hurt by cats. This is a guarantee for a gentle, loving and well adjusted cat. You get what you pay for. Cheap breeders aren't good and good breeders aren't cheap. Mary is the best at what she does. I will never own another cat besides a Ragdoll. I will also buy it from Mary if possible.

Our little girl at 14 weeks.

I have two young children and a ragdoll cat seemed like the perfect fit for our family. Knowing that a reputable breeder is key when it comes to that desired ragdoll personality, I spent several days researching reputable breeders in the Northern California area. I contacted TICA and CFA directly asking for their recommendations. Mary Riddell's name came up consistently as one of the best breeders in the area. I contacted Mary in late August 2020 asking for more information. I knew there was going to be a long waiting list as all reputable breeders are swamped. Mary was very nice on the phone, not snobbish or rude at all, and answered all my questions. I was so lucky with my timing as Mary told me she actually had two kittens available, a boy and a girl! She sent me photos of the most adorable kittens ever. It was so hard to pick, but we decided on the little girl. We had to wait a month before picking up our baby as she was only 8-9 weeks old at the time I contacted Mary. During that waiting period, Mary answered all my emails about what kind of foods, supplies, and grooming brushes to get. It was so hard to wait, but we knew it was best for kittens to be with their mommas and siblings until 12-14 weeks. All reputable breeders do not send home their kittens until at least 12 weeks. We finally got to pick up our little girl last Saturday and she is absolutely adorable. The most incredible blue eyes and softest fur imaginable. There was a few days of adjustment (as is expected with any kittens), but she adjusted pretty quickly. We got her to a vet on Monday and she is very healthy. She is such a wonderful addition to our family. She is super playful, running around the house, exploring things, but then she is also very cuddly and loves to curl up next to us in the sofa and be petted for hours on end. You really can't go wrong getting a kitten from Mary. These kittens have amazing personalities and that's all thanks to Mary. Mary was also so very patient with me as a new pet parent. She answered all my texts and offered so many useful advice. It was so comforting to have that support. Thank you Mary for this beautiful, sweet little angel!

Mary found us the perfect kitten! Our very first Ragdoll and I'm so in love. His coloring is gorgeous and he's so well behaved (for a kitten). Mary was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and supportive through the whole adoption process. She even put up with my relentless questions and emails with grace. Thanks so much Mary. We love our little Cass!

Mary Riddell is extremely knowledgeable of the rag doll breed. We recently had to say goodbye to our sweet Puck which we adopted from Mary many years ago. I didn't hesitate to call Mary and get on the list for a new kitten. After researching the breeders at that time I believed Mary to be the best one. We explained the type of cat we were looking for to follow our beloved Persian -Romeo. He was an affectionate lap cat and loved to be carried around, always wanting to be in the same room with us. Mary clued in to the personality we wanted and steered us to the perfect match. I gave Puck to my husband for Father's Day and he often thanked me for picking out the " perfect" cat for him. Now I have "Ajax" and he is all that I could have dreamed about and more. Mary told me he was quite the character with a big personality and she was right. I bring him to my dad's retirement home and he loves to visit with the residents. He travels well and is fearless, loving and so trusting. He loves my little grandkids and is endless fun! Mary stands by her mission to make sure her cats are well placed and the new families are committed to taking good care of her progeny. Thank you Mary!

Communication with the breeder was non existent and when we visited the puppies we knew it was a big mistake and would not be taking a puppy from them. Enter Brookside Labradoodles - From the moment I spoke to Bonnie over the phone I could tell how much she cared for her dogs and the breed. Communication with Bonnie during the process has been incredible. She even emailed us a picture of the sonogram to confirm pregnancy. We have had the best experience with Brookside Labradoodles and would highly recommend them to anyone.

We had an amazing experience with Bonnie and Tim when we got both of our Labradoodles from them. Bonnie was super responsive to my emails and answered all my questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. We met Bonnie and two of her dogs (Grace and Jack) before making our final decision. Grace and Jack's gentle, calm demeanors sealed the deal for us. Brookside Labradoodles is an All Star WALA breeder and a Golden Paw ALAA breeder (for the World Australian Labradoodle Association and Australian Labradoodle Association of American respectively) so you know they are ethical breeders who breed dogs free of the common genetic defects affecting Labradoodles. The puppies are raised in their home and given the absolutely best start in life. It shows! Our dogs recently turned a year old and are much calmer than most doodles we meet. They are incredibly smart, very loving and so much fun. As a bonus they are exactly the weight and size Bonnie predicted they would be. We couldn't be happier with our puppies and with our experience with Brookside Labradoodles

I rarely write reviews, but people need to be warned…read more I paid $3,500 for a French Bulldog from this breeder and was told the dog was AKC registered. After reviewing the paperwork myself, I had serious concerns about its legitimacy. Now, at just THREE YEARS OLD, my dog is losing bladder control and quickly becoming paralyzed. This has been absolutely devastating for my family--especially my youngest daughter, who is heartbroken watching her dog decline like this.(myself included) From the beginning, my dog has had ongoing health issues, including severe allergies requiring constant vet visits, Cytopoint injections, and expensive specialty food. The emotional and financial toll has been overwhelming. I've since learned more about serious conditions like IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease), which can be more common when breeding is not done responsibly. Based on my experience, this raises major concerns. I will also say this: my interaction with this seller felt unusual. Meetings were arranged in public locations rather than at a residence, and I was never given a clear sense of where the dogs were being raised. Looking back, that lack of transparency is something I would not overlook again. In my opinion, charging a premium price for a dog that develops severe, disabling health conditions this early in life is unacceptable. Do your homework. Ask hard questions. Verify everything independently. Learn from my experience.

Heather sure knows her stuff when it comes to breeding, and she has the best puppy trainers around. Beary already knew many of the basic commands when he arrived and was trained to go to the bathroom in a litter box. Beary is sweet-natured and funny. Playing fetch with him is more entertaining than watching TV. He has no health issues, is very intelligent, and he's always good but perhaps sometimes just a little mischievous! He learns quickly and is very well-behaved. He's also extremely beautiful, loves to cuddle, and is very caring. There's nothing more I could have asked for. Thank you, Heather, for all you do. My life is much happier with Beary in it.
