Welcome to Coda’s website.
His career has been an exciting whirlwind of amazing accomplishments for a harrier. We would like to share some of them with you here.
Coda kicked off his show career with a very exciting Group One win, earning him his first 5-point major, from the Bred-By Exhibitor class under Hound Judge Judy Webb. He is the only harrier to have ever done this. Three weeks later, he went to the Harrier National Specialty and was Winners Dog and Best of Winners for his second 5-point major under harrier breeder-judge Dr. Richard Meen, which completed his championship. He went on to finish out 2006 as # 4 Harrier, with very limited showing.
In 2007, Coda was Award of Merit at Westminster Kennel Club (under the age of 2). In March he became part of the Hi-Tech Team, partnered with boxer Ch. Dramatic Story of Sherryshoot JP and Kim Pastella-Calvacca. Coda finished the year as # 1 Harrier,
