Roach: A dog will arch their back. Some standards call for a roached back. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel standard does not call for a roached back. The way a handler places a dog on the examining table can cause a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to look like they have a roached back even if they do not so be careful not to train this in accidently.

ROM: Reward of Merit: This title is given to a dam once she has had 5 offspring obtain their championship title. This title is given to a sire once he has had 10 offspring obtain their championship title. The dam and the sire do not have to be champions themselves to be awarded this title.
