Ch Larkspur of Pocono CDX ROM
Contribution to later generations of ROM SheltiesCh Larkspur of Pocono CDX ROM is the top producing bitch in the breed in terms of Champions, as well as being one of the very few ROM Shelties of either sex carrying an advanced performance title. She carries on to later ROM Shelties through a large number of offspring. Her overal influence was not major - a few percent - but she was strongly behind the early Banchory blues.
The chart below shows both the percent influence of Larkspur in later ROM pedigrees and the number of times she occurs in the pedigree of each ROM.
