Look at me! I am a Saint Bernard puppy! My Mom is Sheeba. I was born on June 26th and I will be ready for my forever home on August 21st! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country. I get lots of outside time with children. I have had my shots and de-wormers.  I have been vet checked and microchipped. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Martha Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.

I come with a gallon bag of food. A blanket can be sent upon request.

The Saint Bernard is a very impressive and well-recognized breed who is a gentle, sweet, and tender giant.  The breed’s ancestry can be traced back to the Western Alps of Switzerland and Italy. Though the Saint Bernard is a very large breed, it is loyal, affectionate, and docile.  This intelligent breed is fairly easy to train but they do have a stubborn streak which can make training them a challenge.  They are a wonderful breed with children but again supervision is advised due to their size, but they do adore children.  Early socialization is suggested so they get used to many different experiences, people, sights and sounds.  They are not a good breed for a novice dog owner but are a wonderful family dog, and are great  with other pets especially when they are raised together.  Saint Bernards do not like to be left alone for too long or they may experience separation anxiety.  They are a heavy drooling breed so if you enjoy a meticulous home be aware of that trait.  Their exercise needs are moderate, and a good 30 minutes a day walk is essential.  They also love to play fetch, tug of war, and swim.  The Saint Bernard breed is wonderful as a service animal, and is an excellent psychiatric service dog due to their empathetic nature.  The Saint Bernard is typically 26-35 inches tall at the shoulder, and normally weighs 100-200 pounds, with a lifespan of 8-10 years.
