The Australian Terrier Club of America, Inc.

WHAT IS ROM OR ROMX??

The initials ROM and ROMX 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 ATCA club members. The Australian Terriers that have been given those initials are in an elite group of dogs that have produced enough first generation 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 roadmap of quality within our pedigrees as it shows the many dogs that are top producers.
