Dear Pacific Rim Bloodhound Club Members and Friends,
 
Here is a January 2021 update on the ABC NW Regional Specialty, which PRBC hosts on Memorial weekend in conjunction the Clyde Reed Memorial Trailing Trial.

As you are probably aware, PRBC partners with Spokane Kennel Club to host the spring’s NW regional specialty. We can confirm that Spokane Kennel Club does plan to hold its 2021 spring show. If the Spokane Fairgrounds are not open as of May 2021, the show site will move to the Kootenai County Fairgrounds in Coeur d’Alene, ID. What impact the pandemic will have on these plans can’t be predicted at this point, but we hope, whatever the venue, that an outdoor ring will be an option that we could and should pursue if possible. PRBC will keep you posted as more information becomes available.
​
Best wishes to everyone,
Lynn Harty
2021 ABC NW Regional Specialty Chair

HEADS UP, Bloodhound Community!

Deb Thomas-Blake, PRBC member and principal at Harbor
Rescue, has continued her ongoing efforts to rescue and
re-home not only bloodhounds but all dogs in need.
 In November 2020, local police brought to Deb eight abandoned newborn puppies, umbilical cords still attached, with no mother to be found. The Thomas-Blake household was immediately transformed into a maternity ward, all the puppies are doing very well, adopters have stepped up, and the pups should go to their new homes in January 2021.  Thank you for your steadfast commitment and support, Deb!  Click this Forever Homes Page link  to read our rescue dogs' heart-warming stories.

In June 2019, PRBC member Pam Herranz e-mailed an alert on Ronan, a three-year-old bloodhound who had been surrendered to Oregon’s Willamette Human Society because his owners were moving.  Dog lovers David and Janie Besade adopted Ronan from the shelter in August.  The Besades discovered that they were Ronan’s fourth home in his three years of life.
 
Ronan was a dog who came with a wagonload of fear and anxiety issues, including separation anxiety, a terror of loud noises, food territoriality, and aggression.  Luckily for Ronan, David and Janie, who are dedicated dog people, are also experienced with the baggage that rescue dogs can bring.
 
Despite his significant issues, when In his calmer moments Ronan showed himself to be a love of a dog who took delight in the outdoors (and sniffing every possible thing out there), long walks, car rides, and playing fetch.
 
Fast forward to the end of 2019, and the Besades’ patience, hard work, and dedication to this challenging dog have begun to reap rewards.  The photos of Ronan posted above show that he is coming along well.  Thank you, David and Janie, for your willingness not to give up on this boy.
