Megan Esherick reported that the 2020 National would be at 

the Roberts Centre in Ohio. There would be a hunt off-site 

and everything else on-site. There will be RV hookups and is a 

very good location for a National.

Laura Liscum reported that Dr. Komaromy presented a great 

seminar on gene therapies with Beagles and is looking to get 

PBGVs involved in a similar trial.  Blood draws will contin-

ue to be paid for by the Health Foundation if not able to be 

drawn during National.  The Health Foundation recommends 

we use UK testing because the USA company does not cover 

PBGVs. The Foundation will reimburse $50 for any PBGV, 

1 year or older, going to a Veterinarian Ophthalmologist for 

their exam.

Members are asked to check the accuracy of their information 

and update if needed. Jo Quintenz does not get verification of 

“cleared by parentage” from the AHT. Please send the results 

to Jo with a copy of the certificate. Dr. Komaromy suggests 

testing clear parent to clear parent. The Club only recognizes 2 

generations of clear by parentage.

The Club donated 16 oxygen masks to the Kerrville Fire De-

partment. In August Peggy Evanich and Laura Liscum will at-

tend the Health Conference in St. Louis, MO.

An article on estate planning was discussed. The Club has 

“Stella” in rescue will all expenses paid by a trust bequeathed 

to the Foundation.

With no further business the meeting was adjourned at 5:26 

pm CDT.

Respectfully submitted,
