ROM OR ROM-EX
The initials ROM and ROM-EX stand for Register of Merit and Register of Merit-Excellent.

These are titles given by the Australian Terrier Club of America to dogs owned or bred by club members. The Australian Terriers that have been
given those initials are in an elite group of dogs that have produced enough champions to be awarded the title. However, it also helps us as
breeders to know that our breeding programs are moving in the right direction, breeding dogs that consistently produce quality within the
breed. The registry is also a history of our breed and a road map of quality within our pedigrees as it shows the many dogs that are top produc-
ers.

Our website has the ROM and ROM-EX Rules and Regulations with a short application form.
www.australianterrier.org/awards.html

We hope to see club members applying for ROM and ROM-Ex in the year 2018!
Deadline for ROM & ROM EX applications is May 1, 2018.
