I've got my work cut out for me.....you think?! Just meant to put our thinking caps on, if you will.................a little trivia at best. Best wishes, Barbara I'm not trying to be snappy but simply.......the number of champs means nothing to me it's the quality. Anyone with the money can finish mega amounts of mediocre dogs, but i would rather know who produces excellent quality few champions than mega amounts AMY Paul opines... We have a way to judge that in the ROM system. Successful breeding programs will yield both Champions of Record and also Register of Merit sires and dams. I jokingly say you can't have one without the other and that's true. That said, I always feel a bit of extra pride when you receive the prestigious ROM award.
