ABC Registry of Merit (ROM)

Coordinator: Colleen Walsh
Email: americanbrittanyclubrom@gmail.com

ABC recognizes outstanding sires and dams whose influence on the breed is seen in a lasting way thru their progeny. A Registry of Merit (ROM) certificate is awarded to those Brittany sires and dams have attained titles in conformation, the field, hunt tests, obedience, agility and rally. The owner of the sire or dam in question is charged with keeping an accurate accounting of their get, and to submit an application to the ROM coordinator. Copies of documentation should be submitted with the application along with a $10 fee for ABC members, and a $35 fee for non-ABC members. Checks should be made payable to the American Brittany Club. Duplicate certificates for co-owners are available for $5 per co-owner. Proceeds from the ROM program go to fund the Dog of the Year program.

The easiest way to document the accomplishments of progeny is to order a production report from AKC. The report can be ordered on line through the AKC store. Other acceptable forms of documentation include copies of AKC title certificates. It is absolutely the owners responsibility to supply documentation and not the responsibility of the ROM Coordinator.

SIRES: A sire’s progeny must earn 35 title points in order to qualify. No fewer than 5 and no more than 12 progeny can be used to make up the points. In order for each progeny to be counted, they must have been awarded a 3 point or higher title. Only the highest title per category counts. (So a dog with a CH and GCH would receive 5 points for the GCH title, not 9 points for CH + GCH. ) Progeny can earn points from titles in each category, ie conformation, field, hunt, obedience, agility and rally. Only AKC titles are accepted as part of this program.

DAMS: A dam’s progeny must earn 25 title points in order to qualify. No fewer than 5 and no more than 10 progeny can be used to make up the points. In order for each progeny to be counted, they must have been awarded a 3 point or higher title. Only the highest title per category counts. (So a dog with a CH and GCH would receive 5 points for the GCH title, not 9 points for CH + GCH.) Progeny can earn points from titles in each category, ie conformation, field, hunt, obedience, agility and rally. Only AKC titles are accepted as part of this program.
