Register of Merit
(from The Annual, 1998, Volume II)

by
J. Anne Thaeder, Chairperson
Register of Merit Committee
"This year the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club, Inc. will award our first Register of Merit awards for our top producing sires and dams featured on the following pages. Since the ROM is a club award, it will be granted only to Cavaliers owned by our club members. At this point, a dog must produce twenty AKC champions to earn the ROM designation; a bitch must produce five champions. As the AKC point system for numbers of dogs needed for majors changes, the number of progeny necessary for the ROM title may also change. One of the factors not considered in the ROM award, at this time, is the number of litters or number of progeny and the resulting champions produced by a dog or bitch. Because AKC registration is new for the Cavalier and some of the champions recorded were born in litters originally registered with another registry, it would not be possible to compute percentages of champions to litters or to total numbers of puppies registered as is done in some other parent clubs. This is a factor to consider for the future."

1997 Register of Merit Awards
It is interesting to note that both 1997 R.O.M. Sires are sired by Can. Ch. Salador Celtic Dirk, Can. C.D. (who was bred by Sheila Smith and owned by Brigida Reynolds), and that two of the three 1997 R.O.M. Dams are granddaughters of Can. Ch. Salador Celtic Dirk, Can. C.D. through the 1997 R.O.M. Sires - Ravenush Tartan, bred and owned by John D. Gammon and Robert A. Schroll, and Can. Ch. Rutherford Elliot of Shagbark, bred by Robbi Jones and owned by Martha Guimond.
1998 Register of Merit Awards
It is interesting to note that the only sire to be awarded the ROM for this year, Ch. Ravenrush Gillespie, is from two of the five ROMs from last year: Ravenrush Tartan, ROM  x  Ravenrush Xacta, ROM; and one of the dams, Ch. Ravenrush Wild Orchid, is also from two of last year's ROMs: Can. Ch. Rutherford Elliot of Shagbark, ROM  x  Ravenrush Xacta, ROM.  Also noteworthy is that two of the dams, Ch. Rattlebridge Make Believe and Mitterpaws Hooray Hannah of Shagbark are by Ravenrush Tartan, ROM, and all of Ch. Rattlebridge Make Believe's champions are by Ch. Ravenrush Gillespie.  In addition, Ch. Ravenrush Quaker, a dam earning one of this year's ROMs is by B.J. Holy Terror  x  Ch. Ravenrush Xanthe (a littersister of Ravenrush Xacta, ROM who needs only one more champion offspring to earn her ROM Title). The ROM statistics are compiled for the Club by J. Anne Thaeder.
