" ... a great harrier and a great show dog"
                -- David Frei
    February 11, 2008 during the USA Network Broadcast of the 132nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
David Frei is a well-known & respected breeder of Afghan Hounds.
Coda earned a Group 3 in the Prestigious 2008 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. He is only the 3rd Harrier in breed history  (since 1877) to do so. The first in 33 years to earn a placement (the last was a Group 4 in 1975) . There were 3 placements prior to the last hallmark, all achieved by Ch. Mr. Reynold's Monarch more than 70 years ago in the 1930's. We are thrilled to have him added to the Westminster Record Books!
