The Honor Parade & Rescue Parade are one of the highlights each year at the National Specialty. A commemorative booklet featuring the resumes and pictures of entered dogs will be given to each entrant as a memento and will be available to spectators for a nominal donation. Each entry will also receive a rosette ribbon embossed with the name of their dog and a commemorative Tervuren medallion.
