Record of Merit

AHTCA recognizes those sires and dams that have produced titled offspring through the Record of Merit Program. It consists of two sections:

Record of Merit (ROM) recognizes sires and dams that have produced titled offspring in Conformation, Obedience/Rally, or Performance. There are three levels based on the number of titled offspring from one category.
​
Record of Merit Excellent (ROMX) recognizes sires and dams that have produced titled offspring in all three categories: Conformation, Obedience/Rally, and Performance. There are three levels of ROMX based on the number of titled offspring in each category.
