what’s your experience like with a saint bernard?
hi guys, i am thinking of getting a saint bernard and i want to know everyone’s experience on raising them. this wouldnt be my first large dog but my first saint. i’ve always had male dogs and prefer them, but i’m thinking of getting a female saint lately. i’ve never actually had a female dog before so im excited for that. whichever gender, they will be loved and spoiled for sure. i j dont know if i should get a rough or smooth coat. i know they both shed alot. just wanted to know how often do you guys get them professionally groomed? what was your experience like raising them as a puppy? were they very mouthy? how are the puppies like around children? what’s their diet like? and lastly, the vet bills. i’m based in canada and i want to find a good breeder that someone can recommend me. how much did you guys end up getting your puppy from a breeder? and do you think it’s worth paying that much? thanks in advance :)
