Oklahoma City - The International All Breed Canine Association of America (IABCAA) held four shows over the weekend of October 7-8, 2006. The IABCAA judging process is somewhat different from AKC judging.  A dog is shown to the judge in the same fashion as an AKC conformation show, but each dog is judged against the breed standard instead of against other dogs. The judge gives a written critique based on the following categories...Overall Impression, Coat, Head, Bite/Mouth, Eyes, Ears, Chest, Front Angulation, Back Angulation, Topline, Tail, and finally, Movement. There is a final Judgment category and rating of V1 through V4, V1 being the highest attainable rating.

In four shows over the two days Coda earned four V1 (best-of-breed) ratings. It takes three ratings of V1 to attain the title of International Champion.
