About Metal Saints
Metal Saints
Hi! I am Beth Horn and I am the breeder, owner, handler behind Metal Saints, we are located in beautiful Northern California! As a 3rd generation dog show fancier, I grew up immersed in dog training, attending dog shows and events, and actively participating as a leader in 4-H and FFA. I had several dogs that I competed with in Junior Showmanship, obedience and bird hunting.
After college, I realized that Saint Bernards would be my forever breed after meeting several and falling in love with the breed. I acquired my first show Saint in 2007 from Thunderhill Saints in Northern California. Since then, I have been showcasing top Saints, achieving multiple Best in Specialty Shows, group placements, and earning several invites to prestigious events like the Westminster Kennel Club and the AKC National Championship.
I am proud to serve as the President of the Sacramento-Sierra Saint Bernard Club and the Performance Chair for the Saint Bernard Club of America, contributing to the efforts of AKC preservation breeders.
I am also an AKC Junior Showmanship Judge and actively working towards my judges license for Saint Bernards and several other working breeds.
Our Goals
Metal Saints is an AKC preservation breeder dedicated to producing dogs that adhere to the AKC breed standard for conformation, temperament, and type. We believe that our dogs should not only meet these standards but also be functional in their breed purpose. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of dog training, ensuring our dogs excel in various performance venues beyond just dog shows. Our philosophy is that dogs should be well-rounded, proudly holding titles on both sides of their names.
Our lifestyle
Our dogs are all first and foremost our pets and part of the family! They live inside the house, sleep on the furniture, and even have their own sofa! We do not have kennels and the dogs are free to roam our house and fenced backyard as they please! As family members we consider their needs when making plans for travel or extended stays at shows. We take our dogs on lots of adventures from camping, paddle boarding, to just a quick lunch at the local brewery. They are well socialized and enjoy their time with us.
