In Memory of Ellie

From Stop Rutland Manor on Animal Liberation Victoria

This is the horrendous truth of Rutland Manor Labradoodle Breeding and Research Centre.

There are many dogs who have suffered over the years at Rutland Manor, none more so than Ellie. In only 4 years this magnificent Poodle was forced to have 9 litters back to back with never any rest, she was nothing more than a breeding machine, her puppies sold for thousands and made Rutland Manor a fortune. She was never ever shown any compassion she was viewed as a mere money making machine. Ellie was debarked, standard practice at RM.

52 puppies! Anyone in any doubt that Rutland Manor is in fact a puppy farm that obviously has no concern or compassion for their breeding dogs? Does anyone still believe Beverley’s claims that she retires her dogs early after 2 or 3 litters? What “research” was Rutland Manor undertaking with this poor dog?

If you have one of these puppies from Ellie, hold them close, the story is about to get worse.

We cannot tell you the names of Ellie’s final 6 puppies. They never had a name and like their Mum they were never afforded compassion, love or human companionship.

The final story of what happened to Ellie’s 6 puppies may never be known. It involves pure greed, lies, revenge and typical fabricated diversions away from the truth.

We can tell you what we have discovered so far through extensive research by our dedicated team and police documents released under Freedom of Information. The police file remains open.

It is alleged that Ellie was sold in whelp to Beverley’s neighbor Trish Male in about January 2005. Trish and Alan Male were neighbors but also part of the “RM Family” for years until they had a falling out with Beverley. On 24th April 2005, Trish Male reported a burglary and theft from her property in Darnum. Ellie and her puppies worth $125,0oo were stolen. This wasn’t the first time Ellie was allegedly stolen from Trish either, 2 months earlier Ellie was stolen from another house apparently Trish managed to get her back. Around this time Bev was claiming Ellie belonged to her. It appears as though Ellie became a valuable bargaining tool in the Darnum neighborhood war.
