Saint Bernard

Detail Breeders Pictures Comments Books Other Resources  

  Description:
The St. Bernard is powerful, strong, muscular with an some what sad looking expression. He is a faithful, gently, kindly breed who loves children. He requires no training for his work since generations of service seemed to have stamped the rescuing instinct upon his character. Because of his size he does not make a breed for an apartment dweller as he needs plenty of space and large food rations. A well-trained Saint Bernard is a mellow, affectionate, lazy dog who will protect your home. Until the bones are fully formed in puppies it is best to keep their activity to a minimum.
