Nearly a thousand years ago, a monk named Bernard of Menthon established a hospice in the Alps and developed a dog breed to find and rescue buried travelers. They did not, however, carry casks of brandy around their necks.

Whether the Saint Bernard brings forth images of avalanche rescue dogs, rabid Cujo, or the mischievous Beethoven, it’s hard to forget their distinctive look. They’re large, powerful, and furry, with a big head.

Saint Bernards are gentle giants and can make excellent large family dogs. Shedding and drooling should be expected with this breed. You also want to ensure they don’t grow too quickly as puppies.
