MY 2 CENTS It is time to speak the truth about some things in general
Marybell Westbrook and Adobe Kennels
She testified in court that she had known me 6 years and she indicated that the only connection between us was the church. She made it sound like i went to her out of the blue one day and ask her to teach me to train dogs.
We met them in 2002 when we started going to the church but we rapidly became fast friends.Dale plays the guitar and My huband loves that. Marybell and I shared a love for German Shepherds.
We were the friends that went out to eat together, shared burdens together, what we thought was fast and forever friends.
When their house burned we were there. I asked Marybell what i could do and she said could I borrow towels. Towels she got.and dishes and everything else i could gather up for them. She lost all her pictures in the fire so I got copies from her daughter, enlarged and framed them so she would have her family to hang on her walls.
Marybell has a bad perfume allergy. I gathered all the information I could find and gave a talk at church to educate people so she would be safe and could go to church without getting sick.
I loved and trusted her like a sister that I never had.
When I met her in 2002 she was training just pets. I loved helping her and working with the dogs and learning the art of real obedience taining. In 2005 she met Michele with Heaven Scent Paws and got involved with her Diabetic Alert Dog Program
She consigned but never delivered Michele a litter of 2004 puppies and started working with Michele. She help here and there with some problems that Michele was having with a few dogs. Marybell is very good with the dogs.
In the beginning she was only going to obedience train the pups and sell them to Michele for 3000.00. She told us that we could help her. It didn’t take her long to figure out that she was not making enough money since Michele was selling them for DADs She trained a dog for Michele to place as an autistic dog for some people in Searcy Ar. The dogs name was Shane. This was a Tracy pup with an ear down that Marybell had tried to give away without success. She worked about 2 weeks with that dog and Michele placed it.You can see the complaint about that dog on the complaintant list for HSP. Marybell and Dale went back to Searcy and picked up that dog for Michele.If you don’t believe this Mrs keegan go to the HSP web site and look at the news articles then the complaint list. it names the dog and the news article names Marybell.
In 2005 Marybell started training diabetic Alert Dogs on her own. Her statement was If Michele can do it so can I and I agreed.She placed her first DAD in early 2006. His name was Jack and he went to the Bay area in Ca. He was a litter mate to our Allison and they were born Nov 4, 2004. She testified in open court that she had been training DADs for 8 years and that she never placed one that wasn’t 2 to 3 years old. Do the math.
When she asked me to be involved with her and the Diabetic Alert Dogs I jumped at the chance. She said she would teach me everything that she knew and I was in heaven. She gave me phone instructions. Never watched me train at all.
I didn’t realize that she would try to sabotage what I was doing and I so believed everything that she told me.
I have never done anything but love her. i don’t know why she would attack me so brutally.
These are the facts about Adobe Kennels
Dogs that I got from her. Contract was 1500.00 each when they were sold
Shiloh She told me that shiloh was 80% ready to place. i knew better but still wanted to believe her. i tried to place her but had to go back and get her and take the customer another dog because she would not bond with them. I finally after 2 years of continously socializing found her a pet home. I paid 1500.00 for her and gave her away free.
Jaycee Very antisocial but also very aggressive. I have in the last few months rehomed her with a wonderful lady that is willing to give this damaged dog a home. I tried to give her back to Marybell and she said that she didn’t want her because she couldn’t use her.
BenHenry Great dog good social skills but the worst hip dysplasia that my vet had seen. Returned him back to Marybell
Ace A good dog. and the only one that I got from her that was placeable.
She NEVER watched me train at all. The lies she is telling are from what she remembers of training tips that she gave me. She has on her web site Adobekennels.com that she never helped me at all learning to train these dogs but yet in open court under oath she gave a detailed account of how she taught me to train dogs. Lies that it was
Dale set up a fundraiser account at the church so my customers could donate through the church.he kept that money. Amounting to about 3500.00. I let it happen because we were members of the church and I placed 2 of the dogs even though I had to go back and get Shiloh. My contract with them was 1500.00 a dog when they were sold. I considered any dogs that I bought from her paid for at that point. It has been 2 and one half years later that they took me to court for payment of these dogs. We are going to the Baptist Association for help to straighten this mess out. I have undeniable proof of this money going to the church. My attorney just chose not to use it in court But there will be another day.
Just another note I know for a fact that marybell had a female named Tracy that had numerous litters of puppies and every litter had at least one or two that had hip dysplasia. She finally gave her to Tom White without telling him about her hips.
I helped him last year have her put to sleep because she couldn’t get up and down any more.
