About Us
SATURDAY NIGHT GOLDEN RETRIEVERS
LEWISTOWN, MONTANA
We are located in the heart of Montana. Our golden retrievers are hunters and performance dogs, plus they are wonderful family pets. We breed for good, calm temperaments and adhere closely to health clearances necessary to protect our breed. The pedigrees of our dogs are full of championship performers. Although we do not personally compete in field trials, we find that the importance of those winning dogs in our program is simple. For there to be many generations of champions coming from these pedigree lines, it means that the dogs are very trainable, people-oriented and are healthy individuals. There is a difference in trainability in different dogs, and we strive to produce the best that we can!
In the summer of 2008 we built a state-of-the-art kennel facility at our property. Our dogs can now be pampered in style ! The new kennel also features two separate whelping suites designed to make the puppy process so much better for our good girls. We welcome visitors, and love to show off our kennel and beautiful dogs!
At Saturday Night Golden Retrievers, you will find goldens with great field coats, friendly, sane dogs who love people and are ready in an instant to go for a walk, a swim, to go bird hunting or to a competitive obedience event. These same dogs will be found curled up at our feet watching television! They are all-around Golden Retrievers!
Why "Saturday Night"? When Doug was growing up, he was lucky enough to spend his summers training dogs, raising puppies and going to field trials with his uncle. Col. Ed Schnettler was a retired Marine Corps pilot who flew Corsairs in the South Pacific theater during World War II. He was just a little bigger than life! It made sense to us to honor Doug's uncle by naming our kennel after his most famous dog, Saturday Night Ed, a field Irish setter. So now you know! (Take a look at Saturday Night Ed on the "Memories" page.)
With our new kennel facility we are now able to provide dog and puppy training services for which we have received requests for years. Click on the "Training Services" button for a description of what we offer.
