· When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

· Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

· Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

· On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.

· When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

The St. Bernard is a Swiss breed.  It was adapted in the 1700’s for mountain rescue at Saint Bernard Hospice in the western alps.  They would find lost travelers, lick them, and lie next to them to warm them.  Contrary to popular belief, they did not carry brandy around their necks.  They continued in this role of rescue for centuries, and saved thousands of lives.

The St. Bernard is a very large dog with a large head. A full-grown male can weigh between 160 and 260 lb (73–117 kg) or more and the approximate height  is 27½ inches to 35½ inches. The coat can be either smooth or rough, with the smooth coat close and flat. The rough coat is dense but flat, and more profuse around the neck and legs. The coat is typically a red color with white, or sometimes a mahogany brindle with white. Black shading is usually found on the face and ears. The tail is long and heavy, hanging low with the end turned up slightly. The dark eyes should have naturally tight lids

Saints shed twice a year.  They need lots of exercise and play time as they are a giant breed.  The Saint Bernard is a very friendly breed.  They love lots of attention. They are good with children and other dogs or household pets.
