Honor / Rescue Parade
Committee Chair Cindy Simonsen
Committee Chair Cindy Simonsen
In the midst of competition of our most beautiful and talented Tervuren, the Honor and Rescue Parades provide a forum to showcase our outstanding show dogs and most beloved dogs of the past as well as those who have been rescued and had the good fortune to land in loving permanent homes. Participants have the opportunity to bask in the limelight with their beloved dog and share precious memories and special stories with the audience.
The Honor Parade is open to all dogs over 8 years of age that are not competing at the 2017 National in conformation class (*exceptions). The Rescue Parade is open to all purebred Tervuren who have passed through Belgian Tervuren Rescue or any other rescue organization or shelter. A rosette ribbon imprinted with the dog’s name and a commemorative Tervuren medallion will be given to each participant.
Seasoned specialty attendees recognize this event as a highlight of the week. Those who are new to the breed will be awed and inspired. It’s an emotionally charged event and one you will not want to miss!
The Honor and Rescue Parades are sponsored by Belgian Tervuren Rescue and donations will be accepted.
