Register of Merit (ROM) and Register of Merit Excellent (ROMX)

ROM Honor Roll | ROMX Honor Roll

The NSDTRC (USA) Board of Directors has just approved a new Club program to be implemented beginning January 2008. 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. By recognizing the contributions of outstanding sires and dams, the ROM Program is a resource of information for breeders and other interested persons as to the top producers in our breed and how they’ve influenced our dogs today.

The ROM program will provide 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. This is a two-level program that will provide appropriate recognition for sires and dams. 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.

This program is administered by the Records Chair and will begin in January 2008. Members DO NOT apply for this program, but rather 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. Please note, administration of this program is different than the new ROM program developed by the NSDTRC of Canada as members do not need to apply.

Dogs determined by the Record Chair to meet the ROM criteria will then be inducted into the Registry at the Annual Meeting held each fall, beginning with the 2008 Annual Meeting. Dogs will be inducted into the registry annually, but there is no time limit regarding ROM eligibility – dogs will continue to earn points for as long as their progeny continue to earn titles.
