ROM
Requirements
To be nominated for the RECORD OF MERIT
(ROM) all dogs and bitches must be registered with AKC, and
only AKC titles will be recognized. The progeny must reflect
the versatility of the breed by acquiring titles from both
field and bench. Points will be awarded for the various
titles reflecting the degree of difficulty in attaining said
title. It will be further noted that OFA Hip Certification
will be required for ALL dogs or bitches whelped after
January 1, 1995, including the nominee.
DOGS:
1) The nominee must submit a list of at
least 10 titled offspring having titles from both bench and
field.
The list of 10 or more, shall contain a
minimum or 8 bench champions (CH), and 3 of the 10 must have
field titles (FC,AFC,MH,SH,JH).
OR
2) 3 of the 10 offspring must have field
titles (FC,AFC,MH), and 3 of the 10 must have bench titles (CH,CD,OA).
1 of the 10 must be a bench champion (CH).
AND
3)The points must equal 50 or more for
either option 1 or option 2.
BITCHES:
1) The nominee must submit a list of at
least 7 titled offspring having titles from both bench and
field.
The list of 7 or more, shall contain a

AND
3) The points must total 35 or more for
either option 1 or option 2.
SUPERIOR ROM:
A dog or bitch is eligible for a Superior
ROM if in addition to the fundamental requirements of the
ROM, if he or she has produced both field and show champions
(FC,AFC,MH,CH) or a BIS.
BIS: Verification for a Best In Show
shall be a photo of the dog or bitch, winning the award,
sent in either hard copy or digitally to the ROM
Coordinator, with the nominee’s application.
SUPREME
ROM:
This title is reserved for those
outstanding dogs or bitches that in addition to attaining
their ROM, have also produced a Dual Champion (DC).
Point Values: Please note that once an
animal earns a greater title than the one he or she
previously held (ie: from JH to SH or MH…SH to MH…JH to
MH…or from CD to CDX , etc) AKC DOES NOT recognize the
lesser title anymore: therefore an animal IS NOT “Champion
Jolly Good Lad JH, SH” he becomes “Champion Jolly Good Lad
SH.” And, since an animal can go straight to these
more complex titles, without passing through the lesser
titles, no points shall be given for these lesser titles,
once the greater title is received. In other words, Champion
Jolly Good Lad SH, in the example above, would only be
awarded 5 points for the bench championship, and 5 points
for the Senior Hunter…he would not be allowed to accrue the
additional point for the prior Junior Hunter.
