The Breeding Excellence Recognition Register of Merit (ROM) program was developed by the BCSA to honor and recognize Border Collie dogs and bitches that have excelled as producers of talented performance and conformation titled offspring. By virtue of the superior characteristics they have passed to their first generation progeny, these dogs and bitches have made an exceptional impact on the future of the versatility and quality of the breed. This program uses the accomplishments of the get as the measure of the ability to pass a high percentage of desirable characteristics to future generations.
