Pedigree of Promise
The GWPCA (German Wirehaired Pointer Club of America) has a Record Of Merit program.
In order to be nominated for the RECORD OF MERIT (ROM) all dogs or bitches must be registered with AKC, and only AKC titles are recognized. Their offspring must demonstrate all of the versatility of the breed by acquiring titles from both field and bench. Points will be awarded for the various titles reflecting the degree of difficulty in attaining each title. In order to qualify for ROM status, the dog or bitch must meet one of two point matrices. OFA Hip Certification is required for ALL dogs or bitches whelped after January 1, 1995, including the nominee. In order to qualify for a Supreme Record Of Merit, in addition to meeting the ROM requirements, they also have to have produced a Dual Champion.
There are currently 9 dogs who have qualified as Supreme ROM Sires. Sioux has 8 of those dogs in his pedigree. DC/AFC/NFC Sure Shot's Hot Rocks MH, DC/AFC Dunkee's Justa Top Flite MH, DC Cascade Rogue MH, DC/AFC Cascade Ike MH, DC/AFC Dunkee's Justa Hole n One MH,CD, UT and Ch Sure Shot's Rockland Boss through his Sire Louie.

This is going to be a blog on the antics of our boy named Sioux. I want to thank Adam at Ironwire GWP, first ... for guiding a hunt that allowed my dad and I to get out and chase some birds together for the first time in years. Hunting behind Adam's dogs that day and then the rest of the season, hooked me on the idea of having a top quality pointing dog. The second thanks to Adam is for making Sioux possible with just an amazing breeding and then offering Sioux to my family!
My family and I are just ecstatic about the upcoming addition to our family!
