Geeshy-peeshy. I was idly checking the new ratings published by the national obedience magazine, Front and Finish, only to find that Roz and Reardon (better known as the “R-babies”) are at the top of the national rankings for their Rally Novice titles last year. They only competed three times for their three legs, but look at the rankings for the entire Sporting Group and then for English Springers. They’re in the top 10 in the country in the Sporting Group, and the two 2 in springers! (Hint: Reardon is “Melchris Royal Bard” and Roz is “Melchris As You Like It.”)
