Personality & Temperament
Ragamuffins are famously docile, patient, and loving. They are "gentle giants" who enjoy being held and will often go limp in your arms, seeking constant companionship and attention from their human families.
Grooming & Care Guide
Their semi-long, plush coat requires brushing 2-3 times a week to prevent mats and tangles. Regular nail trimming and dental care are also important for this indoor-loving breed.
Diet & Nutrition
Monitor food intake carefully, as Ragamuffins can be prone to obesity. Feed a balanced, high-quality diet appropriate for their large size and moderate activity level.
