Kim,
This will really effect breeders who only have one litter every two or
three years. I would hope the Board reaches out to the membership before
changing a program as important as the ROM. If you look at the number of new
ROM
bitches each year I would think anyone could see the requirements cannot
be that easy.

Hi List,
I had a very interesting conversation this afternoon - I was told by
someone very in the know, that there is a move afoot to change the
requirements for ROM dams. Apparently there is a school of thought that it
is too easy?
I'd like to hear other breeders' opinions. I don't think it's too easy -
I've never had one, maybe because I can't breed my girls all that often.
To get 2 Champions and 2 Qualifiers is doable if I set a goal and try
hard.... to get 3 champions and 3 qualifiers - probably out of reach of
those of us who only have 1 or 2 litters a year.
There is more wrongness here, if what I was told was correct. First - the
ROM dam chairs were not consulted. Really? Cappy and Gloria have done
this job for awhile, and a decision like this is made without their input?
Before them it was Maryellen Kish and before her it was Connie Beckhardt
and I'm told in the past this was tried and they fought it as much as they
could! Second - word is someone is trying to push this change through at
the July Board meeting - yes this month - before any of us have a chance to
offer our opinions. Seriously? Is this Board back to act first, get
input
after?
How do we manage the title if this change goes through? New ROMs are ROMs
and old ROMs on the 2/2 system get an asterisk? I do the ROM sections in
the Red Book, and there are 55 dams on the first page of the Active ROM
dams list. Do the 16 of them who don't have 6 qualifiers get the boot?
I'm not even sure I understand what is driving this move. Are the plaques
too expensive? Are the Review pages too difficult to print correctly?
OK,
so it takes very few dogs to make a major now - but are we finishing that
many more champions? I don't think so - majors are still hard to come by
and to win.
The ROM system is what it is; it is our tradition and changing it now is a
bad idea. At least, that's my opinion - what's yours?
Thanks,
Kim
