RE: How frequently should a Ragdoll queen be bred

We prefer one litter per year, but others have more -- and more frequent litters may have some health factors in its favor. I would think 3 litters in two years is about enough. In any event, one considers condition, history, speed of recovery from last litter, age, expected time to retirement, past ease to get pregnant and other factors.
If "several times a year" means three or more, then that strikes me as too many. As in many breeding practices, an important factor in evaluation is the reasons for it.
