What is Registry of Merit?

The Vizsla Club of America, organized originally in the early 1950’s as the Magyar Vizsla Club, received its present name in order to facilitate breed recognition by the AKC.

VCA sponsors an annual national event which rotates around the country each year. During this event, the VCA sponsors a national field championship stake, a national amateur field championship stake, a national specialty show, national obedience and rally competitions, and a national agility trial. These competitions distinguish the VCA as one of the few national parent breed clubs to offer combined events for their membership.

Female Vizslas can be awarded the title of ROM if they have produced at least six get with titles totalling 24 points. These points must be in more than one venue. (show,field,obedience,agility). Titles must be worth three or more points in order to qualify, except that one of the get could contribute two 2 point titles to be considered as one of the qualifying get.

The same rules apply to males except that they must have produced nine offspring totalling 36 points.
