What They Didn't Want You To See
'Why We Support Rutland Manor' was a website launched and updated with content by Kate Pappas and her friend Twyla Pyles (they call themselves 'bosom buddies') during their several weeks-long stay at Rutlands Australian Cobberdogs in Australia. They updated the website frequently during their stay, (see screenshots below) with glowing reports about what they were experiencing daily at Beverley's property.
After the Rutlands breeding dogs arrived in Texas (Beverley paid the $34,000.00 for their shipping) the supportive website was suddenly without warning, shut down.
What the thieves didn't know, was that someone who didn't trust them, had taken some screenshots.
In the screenshots below, Kate Pappas describes her unfettered access to every part of the Rutland Manor property and the excellent daily care of the dogs and their puppies - all statements that she publicly repudiated once the theft of the breeding dogs was completed.

AFTER the heist, the supportive website was abruptly shut down. They didn't know that Screenshots had been taken by friends of Beverley's who didn't trust them.
In hindsight, it's now apparent that the idea was to gain Beverley's trust, so that when they suggested she send her breeding dogs to the Pyles in Texas to keep them safe from the animal activists' threats, Beverley wouldn't smell a rat! As part of the lease agreement she flew to Texas to stay with the Pyles for three months and to mentor them on breeding dogs.
When she refused to sign over her dogs to them immediately after paying them approximately $30,000 commissions on puppies sold and only 2 weeks prior to her visa expiring she was thrown out late at night and she was left at the Country Inn motel in Dallas Texas at 10.30pm. Her texts and phone messages were not replied to and she never saw her dogs again.

She was served at the Motel after 3 days, with a legal paper telling me that by Texas Law she had abandoned her dogs, which were now the property of the Pyles. A ransom note followed, but there was no time and no money to follow the "aggressive" legal action recommended by the Texas lawyer she contacted and no money to start legal proceedings.
WHAT KATE PAPPAS AND TWYLA PYLES DID NOT KNOW WAS THAT SCREENSHOTS HAD BEEN SAVED OF THEIR WEBSITE SUPPORTING RUTLAND MANOR.

Reports on the internet later said the Rutlands dogs lived their lives locked in dungeons, never saw sunlight and never felt grass under their paws.
