Answer 1

St. Bernard is My favorite dog

St. Bernard

The St. Bernard Dog is a large breed of dog originally bred for rescue and as a working dog. A full-grown male can weigh between 150 and 200 lb (68 and 90 kg). There are two varieties of the breed: the short-haired or smooth-coat variety and the long-haired or rough-coat variety.

The St. Bernard is known for its loyalty and vigilance and is tolerant of both children and animals. Because of these traits, it has become a family dog. They also make good watchdogs, as their size can be intimidating to strangers, though their temperament is gentle.

History
The ancestors of the St. Bernard were the herding dogs of Swiss farmers as well as hunting dogs and watchdogs. Their history has also been connected with the hospice at the Great St. Bernard Pass. First reports of the dogs' presence at the pass date to the 17th century, and they remained loyal companions to the monks there until 2004, when the monks began to divest themselves of the dogs and focus the time they spent on the dogs to minister to people.[1]

The most famous St. Bernard to save people at the pass was Barry (sometimes spelled Berry), who reportedly saved somewhere between 40 and 100 lives. There is a monument to Barry in the Cimetière des Chiens and his body was preserved in the Natural History Museum in Berne[2].


St. Bernard
Varieties
The St. Bernard originally was a smooth-coated dog developed to rescue travellers from the snow. In the 1830s the monks who owned and bred the dogs introduced Newfoundland blood to strengthen the breed, and this gave rise to the rough-coat St. Bernard. Although more popular, the rough-coat variety proved to be unsuitable for mountain work because the long hair tended to collect icicles. For this reason the monks kept the smooth coat variety for rescue work.[3]


Temperament
St. Bernards are very gentle giants. They are often fond of children and are loyal to their family, but, as with any dog, should not be left unsupervised with young children. It is highly recommended that owners be very patient because this breed of dog can be very stubborn. It is imperative that St. Bernards should also remain very socialized because they can become overly protective of their territory. They are also very prone to anxiety if left alone for long periods of time and may destroy their owner's belongings. It is recommended that a suitable safe environment be made available during times that the owner can not be home. This could range anywhere from a fenced yard to a suitably sized crate (normally Extra Large). They commonly get along very well with other dogs and love high amounts of attention.

Health
The very fast growth rate and the weight of a St Bernard can lead to very serious deterioration of the bones if the dog does not get proper food and exercise. Some dogs are affected by hip dysplasia. They are also prone to eczema.

Miscellaneous

Naming
The name "St. Bernard" was not in widespread use until the middle of the 19th century. The dogs were called "Saint Dogs", "Alpenmastiff", or "Barry Dogs" before, and in parts of North America, they're still called "Saints".

Answer 2

I am partial to a lot of different breeds. My first dog was a mix. He was part Schnauzer and part Welsh Terrier. He always looked like he was smiling and he didn't have a aggressive bone in his body. We had him for 22 yrs.

I also like Labs too. I had a purebred black Labrador Retriever. He was smart and cunning and made a perfect watch dog. We had him 12 years.

I also like Collies and Sheep Dogs. They are both gentle and more even tempered than other big breeds and make excellent watch dogs and help out on the farm.

I like Golden Retrievers too. They are excellent pets and can be kept indoors or outdoors. And make great watch dogs too and they like the Labs love water and you can train them to hunt or to be a seeing eye dog.

And I enjoy Cairn Terriers too. They might be little, but they have a bark of a big dog and can alert you of someone trying to get in the house. They are smart and highly keen in senses. They are lovable creatures and make excellent pets indoors or out.

That's the sum of it. Good luck with your dog, enjoy him or her for your dog can be the best friend in your life. You can tell your dog all your troubles and you can rest assure that he or she won't tell anyone. Enjoy!

Answer 5

I like Basset Hounds I have one named Flash (yes and this was even before the Dukes of Hazard Movie) Basset Hounds are lazy, loving wonderful dogs. Mine is so stupid, but he has such a huge heart. I love their droopy ears and short stalky bodies. They are great with kids and quite content to just lay and get their belly rubbed. Rottweilers rock too. We have one named Roxy. She is the greatest dog, for what Flash lacks in smarts she makes up with her own. She does wonderful tricks and is great with kids as well. She is energetic and fun loving. We have been blessed with two great dogs/pets/family members.
