🐾 Thank you to our 2026 Dog Show Showmanship Judge, Andrew Golden!

We’re so grateful to Andrew for sharing his time, expertise, and passion for dogs at this year’s Dog Show Showmanship. A native Floridian from Lithia and part of a second-generation breeder, owner, and handler family, Andrew brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the ring. From getting his start in a local 4-H dog club at age 13 to showing extensively in American Kennel Club all-breed shows, his dedication truly showed.

Thank you, Andrew, for helping make this year’s show such a success and for supporting our youth exhibitors and fair community! 🐶✨
