The Register of Merit
(ROM) and Versatility Register of Merit (VROM)
programs recognize those Giants that have had an impact on the
breed through both the quality and quantity of their progeny as
demonstrated by the successes of those Get in conformation and/or
performance competition. The notable sires and dams listed in these
registers are examples of the best of the Giant Schnauzer breed. They
and their pedigrees are invaluable references for breeders in their
quest to produce the ideal Giant Schnauzer as envisioned in our
breed
standard
.
Recognition is based on the
cumulative points earned by the Get of a Giant nominated for ROM or
VROM. Additionally, there are minimum and maximum limits on the
number of Get that may be included in the point calculation for a
nominated Giant. Commensurate with the point totals of their Get,
four levels of both ROM and VROM recognition are possible –
Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
REGISTER OF MERIT
The Register of Merit program
is intended for Giants whose progeny have excelled in conformation
and is designed to acknowledge both the quantity and quality of their
Get. While a ROM Giant must be owned or co-owned by a GSCA member,
their Get do not have to be owned or co-owned by a GSCA member to be
counted.

VERSATILITY REGISTER OF MERIT
The
Versatility
Register of Merit
program is intended for Giants whose progeny
have excelled in multiple competition events as prescribed in the
GSCA Versatility Program. The VROM program is also designed to
acknowledge both the quantity and quality of their Get. The Get do
not have to be owned by GSCA members to be counted. But as Get
belonging to non-members are ineligible for the GSCA Versatility
Program awards, additional documentation of their participation and
titles in the various competition events will be required as part of
the VROM application.

APPLICATION
Applications for ROM and VROM
recognition should be submitted via the
ROM
and VROM Application
form during the first quarter of each
year. Additionally, a
Get
Information
form is required for each of the Get associated
with a ROM or VROM nomination.
Similar to other awards in the
GSCA
Awards Program
, the submission deadline is March 31st.
Applications are reviewed during April and May and processed in
conjunction with other GSCA awards (Top 10, etc.) for the year.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To be nominated for ROM or VROM, a
Giant must be owned or co-owned by a GSCA member in good standing and
have been assigned a
Canine
Health Information Center
(CHIC) number. (Giants born before
January 1, 2010 are, however, exempt from the CHIC eligibility
requirement.) Giants may be nominated posthumously provided all
eligibility requirements are met.
Although ROM and VROM registry are
lifetime achievements that reflect the cumulative accomplishments of
their Get, recipients will be recognized at the annual awards banquet
during the year in which they were nominated. Because the level of
ROM or VROM recognition may increase over time based on additional
accomplishments of their Get, recipients may be eligible for higher
levels or ROM and VROM recognition in the future.
Refer to the
GSCA
Annual Awards Program documentation
for more details on
the ROM and VROM programs.
