>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,
