Saber Tails: Tiffany Cannon reported that the donation envelope
was not in the Saber Tails issue as planned. The next issue will
go to press shortly after the Royal Canin shows in Orlando. She
also reported that issues should be getting cheaper to print.
New Business: Bob Cohen asked if the Foundation could use
the PBGVCA mailing list to send a mailing encouraging owners
to get health testing. It was suggested that we wait to hear the
OFA response to our requested change in CHIC requirements.
The PBGVCA would need to review any mailings the Foundation
wants to send with the Club mailing list.
Anne suggested we send a letter to the AKC to change PBGVCA
testing recommendations. Tiffany asked Susannah to write to
the AKC about the changes the Board requests.
