Rutland Manor Breeding & Research Centre Open Days
A ride on the Cobber buggy was always favourite with the kids
|
For over ten years Rutlands held Open Days twice annually and attracted visitors from across Australia and the world. With a 'no closed doors' policy, thousands of guests have seen the Rutlands operations first hand and interacted intimately with our dogs.
It all had to end in 2010 when it became too dangerous due to animal activist persecution but I still look fondly back on the fun it was for one and all! Beverley |

On Rutlands Open Days visitors came from near and far, so to protect the parvo - free status of the property, after signing in, each person agreed to shoes, hands and clothing being misted with parvicide before handling the dogs. Such caring lovely people, I don't remember anyone ever objecting.
