Register Of Merit
SVCA Register of Merit Award Program
The ROM and ROMX awards are earned by American Kennel Club registered and recognized foreign register Swedish Vallhunds as outlined below.
Titles recognized: AKC and recognized Foreign Registry earned titles will be honored. (If titles are not AKC earned titles, you will be required to provide copies of certificates of titles earned from those organizations). A progeny cannot count both a foreign and an AKC title if they are identical titles. (i.e. a progeny may not count both a Can. CH. and an AKC CH.)
Progeny: A progeny may only count one conformation title, one obedience title, and one performance title in each area (agility, herding, tracking). (i.e. a progeny may not count both a CD and a CDX, but may count a CH, CDX, NA, TD, and HI.) [See list below for accepted titles.] Titled ILP dogs may not be counted as progeny.
Applications: Applications for a Register of Merit award must be filled out on the SVCA Application for Register of Merit form and accompanied by a legible copy of an AKC Progeny Report (available from AKC or downloadable here: Excel PDF), copies of AKC title certificates, or other official verification of titles from AKC (which include titles and, sire and dam information), as well as copies of certificates of titles earned from other organizations. Any applications submitted that are not legible, or not on the SVCA Application for Register of Merit form will be returned to sender. Please use one form per dog. (Forms may be copied.) No fee is necessary.
