A Certificate will be issued by the ODC. Dogs that have been awarded the Bronze ROM, that complete qualifying titles/health tests to meet the requirements for subsequent ROM levels, will need to provide copies of those new titles and health reports to the ODC. An additional $15.00 fee is required to upgrade their ROM status, and they will receive a new ROM certificate. ROM awards do not need to be consecutive. If a Doberman qualifies for the Gold ROM, whose owner has not previously applied for any Total Doberman Register Of Merit Awards, the owner need only apply for their dog’s Gold certificate. As stated above, all Temperament evaluation score sheets and health test results will be held in strict confidentiality.
