Dr. Metzler passed away on September 27, 2022. She attended the University of California at Davis where she earned her BS in Animal Science (with high honors), her MS in Animal Science (reproductive behavior), and her DVM from UCD Veterinary School. She opened Orangevale Veterinary Hospital in October 1998. Her interest in purebred dogs began in her teens when she acquired her first show dog, a Gordon Setter bitch, finishing her AKC conformation and field championships, and put obedience titles on her. She has bred and owned top producers of several breeds, including Gordon Setters, English Cocker Spaniels, Greyhounds, and currently, Longhaired Miniature Dachshunds. Not only has she participated in conformation shows but has competed in field trials, earth dog, obedience, Schutzhund, tracking, lure coursing, and open field coursing over the years. Dr. Metzler firmly believed that every dog should be able to do the job the breed was developed to do
