Introduction

Known for their gentle nature and powerful stature, Saint Bernards are iconic rescue dogs with a noble history. Possessing a dense, muscular build, they can grow quite large, often weighing over 140 pounds. These friendly giants have a calm demeanor and are exceptional with families, showing great patience with children. Despite their size, they require moderate exercise and thrive with regular interaction. Their thick coat demands regular grooming and they adapt well to cooler climates.
