Saint Bernard
The Saint Bernard is a large, strong and muscular dog. They have a massive head with short and wide muzzle. Saint Bernards are very gentle, friendly and very fond of children. They are slow moving, calm, obedient, extremely loyal and always eager to please. They need to be socialized at a young age with people and other animals. Saints are highly intelligent and easy to train; however, training should begin early, while the dog is still a manageable size. The Saint Bernard is a good watchdog. Even its size is a good deterrent. They drool after they drink or eat. Be sure you remain the dog's pack leader. Dogs want nothing more than to know what is expected of them and the St. Bernard is no exception. Allowing a dog of this size and magnitude to be unruly can be dangerous and shows poor ownership skills. Saint Bernards have a highly developed sense of smell and also seem to have a sixth sense about impending danger.

Basic Care
Saint Bernards wear either short or long coats. The short coat is dense and smooth with slighly bushier hair on the thighs and long, dense hair covering the tail. The long coat is wavy, but never curly or shaggy. A Saint Bernard should be brushed at least three times per week. Short haired Saints should be brushed with a slicker brush and long haired coats should be brushed with a pin brush. They shed a lot at least twice per year.
