Picking a pet identification tag for your Groenendael is like purchasing insurance – you do it with the hopes that you’ll never use it. The “possible cost” of not having a pet ID tag is more costly than the “real cost” of buying the pet tag itself.

You could be outside the box and send your Groenendael or you can handle from within the box. Your jumps can be setup in a horizontal line, so you could practice serpentines and threadles.
