ROM/ROMX
The Register of Merit Program (ROM ) is designed to allow the Club to maintain an honor roll of outstanding dams and sires in our breed. This program recognizes those Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers that have had an impact on our breed through their progeny.
The ROM program provides the basis for a historical record of those dogs and bitches that have produced outstanding offspring, as evidenced by the AKC and NSDTRC (USA) titles those offspring have earned.
A sire or dam is listed on the Register of Merit (ROM) when they attain the first level of recognition, through the achievements of their offspring.
The Register of Merit Excellent (ROMX) is a second, higher level of recognition for top producers.
Members do not apply for this program.
At the end of the awards year (June 30th), the Records Chair will compile a list of those sires and dams that meet the eligibility criteria each year. These dogs will then be inducted into the Registry at the Annual Meeting held each fall.
There is no time limit regarding ROM eligibility, dogs will continue to earn points for as long as their progeny continue to earn titles.
