Unlike Traditional Ragdolls which are born white, Minks are born with full color and still come in all the traditional colors and patterns (see our "About Ragdolls" page). The coat of a Mink is smoother and much softer, and has a darker and richer point color than the Traditional Ragdoll. The body color of a Mink is a few grades lighter then their points. Mink Ragdolls have aqua colored eyes (which can vary from blue with just a hint of green to almost fully green). To produce a Mink at least one parent must be a Mink or you can also breed a Sepia with a Traditional or Solid.

SEPIA:

Sepia Ragdolls are substantially darker coated than their Mink litter mates. They often have a more plush coat than Minks and their eye color is green/gold , but blue(ish) and odd eyes are possible. Sepias are also born with full color and come in all traditional colors including smoke or silver. Sepias can only be produced when both parents are minks or if one parent is a Mink and the other Sepia.

SOLID:
Solid Ragdolls are the darkest and highest contrast of all Ragdolls. Solids (non-pointed) are also referred to as "self-colored". The body color and the point color of the Solid Ragdoll are the same, a single color throughout. This is in contrast to the 'pointed' variety, where the body color is a shade or more lighter than their point color (ears, nose, tail, & legs). Solid Ragdolls can be seen in the following colors: Black, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac, Red, Cream, Calico, Blue-Cream, or White. All these colors can be accompanied by tabby, smoke, or silver. The overlaying patterns are the same for both the Solid and the Traditional Ragdolls. The Solid Ragdoll's eyes can come in all colors including odd eyes with preference to be given to green. Solid Ragdolls can only be produced if one of the parents is a Solid.
