Dear Pacific Rim Bloodhound Club Members and Friends,
The year 2020 has surprised us with the advent of COVID-19. We hope that all of you are healthy and staying safe!
Out of an abundance of caution for everyone's personal safely, we have cancelled Memorial weekend's ABC/PRBC Northwest Regional Specialty and the Twelfth Annual Clyde Reed Memorial Trailing Trial in Spokane and the City of the Spokane Valley, WA,
We are so happy to be able to offer a 2nd Annual Fun in Winlock trailing trial on September 19 and 20, 2020. Good luck to all participants!
As always, your club officers would love to have your comments, suggestions, and questions. We look forward to hearing from you, and I hope to see all of you this year.
Sincerely,
Cindy Wolfrom, PRBC President

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, and all the babies are doing very well. Thank you for your steadfast commitment and support, Deb!

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.
