French term

en reste

French to English Science Livestock / Animal Husbandry Cat breeding
I understand 'être en reste' to refer to owing something to somebody. However, in this context I suspect it may have a meaning closer to 'is not left behind'. NB: I think this may be a Canadian document, in case that's of any help.

"À la TICA, une des fédérations les plus actives dans ces domaines, le Bengal est la race la plus élevée tan- dis que le Pixie-Bob, reconnu en championnat il y a un peu plus de
10 ans est à la 9e place ! La CFA n’est cependant pas ** en reste ** car l’American Curl, chat de type modéré, mais avec des oreilles en croissant de lune est placé dans le top ten. En Russie, nation qui connaît un développement fulgurant du chat de race de qualité, les chats nus (Sphynx, Sphynx du Don, Peterbald) sont très appréciés tandis que le Scottish Fold, appuyé sur un élevage de British très actif, et les American Curl sont plus nombreux que nulle part ailleurs. "
