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 :)

Our boy Zack we picked up yesterday, he’s been an absolute dream 😍 but how are we stopping the needle teeth because it’s my husband on the receiving end of it

Barney (girl dog) senses a presence
Jet (male kitten) likes Barney. Barney is not sure about him.

Grimm’s first birthday!
Three walks, peanut butter on breakfast and dinner, birthday cookie, and his favorite treat from the garden. It was a rough day!

Please read his story
I have a GoFundMe for my beautiful Bernie I would like to share that doing this GoFundMe campaign for him forced me to rely on social media. Because of that I was able to reconnect with some very special friends, that for whatever reason, lost touch.So, Bernies journey enabled me to reconnect and enable our friendships to blossom. So please help this very special dog. Thank you. Lisa https://GoFundMe.me/f409571bo

I love to gross out my friends/family with Ferg's slop
Obligatory picture of Fergus.
Everyone loves Ferg but they get so grossed out by his hanging drool. I'm used to getting rained on by his slop of course, therefore when someone points out his drool "ewwwww it's gonna touch me", I just go "oh no problem, I'll take that" and just scoop it with my hand. The shock on everyone's faces is so funny.

Smelly neck
Hi. We have adopted 5 year old short haired Saint Bernard. All going reasonably well, but whole house stinks because of her beard/neck is trapping drool. What is the best way managing that? I am thinking of trimming hair in that area shorter?

🆘 VERY Urgent 8/13‼️ Sweet EDDIE A658294 Overlooked 2 y/o St. Bernard mix, Dog-Friendly Boy Still Waiting to be chose ! Urgently seeking loving foster/forever home. Houston, TX (Adoptable Out of State & Canada)
🆘 What about Eddie?
**Every day, dogs leave Harris County Pets with adopters and rescue groups. Every day, new dogs arrive. Somehow, Eddie has quietly slipped through the cracks.
Eddie arrived as a stray on June 24. When he first came to the shelter, he shared his kennel with another male dog. Sadly, his kennel mate became ill and was euthanized. Eddie is healthy, but he has been waiting alone ever since.** 💔
**He’s only 2 years old and 52 lbs, friendly with people and has successfully shared a kennel with another male dog. He has his whole life ahead of him—he just needs someone to notice him before he runs out of time.**
