Mr, Randy Garren

RANDY GARREN OF APEX, NORTH CAROLINA used his lawn mowing money at the age of 12 to purchase his first dog, a toy poodle.  From that moment on, his passion for the sport and purebred dogs has never waned.  He has bred over 60 champions, and as a professional handler, he and his partner finished over 1,000 champions.  Their top winners were two standard poodles, one was the top winning Non-Sporting dog in history, and the other was Ch. Whisperwind On A Carousel, Best In Show Westminster 1991.  Mr. Garren was co-breeder of the 2009 Westminster Non-Sporting Group winner.  He began judging in 2000 and is approved for Hound, Terrier, Toy and Non-Sporting groups.  This is his fifth Westminster assignment.
