How about asking someone from saint bernard rescue? I'm sure they'd love to answer any questions you have. They know the breed and know every excuse ever given as to why the dogs have been given up.

Good luck!

Pay the extra for the "dry breed". A St. Bernard drools CONSTANTLY. They actually have a breed that doesn't drool as much, but still have all the other qualities that are loved in a St. Bernard. Keep in mind they are a HUGE dog and their life expectancy is considerably shorter and they are known for heart disease and failure. But they are super loveable. Good luck!

If you are starting with a puppy, you need to research the feeding requirements.
Large breed puppies, like Saints and Danes, need to be started on large breed puppy chow or adult dog food, not just puppy chow. Protein levels in the food should be no more than 23%.

They are a fabulous breed if you can handle the size, but be aware of their short life expectancy (5 years or less) and predisposition for disease. Definitely interview several breeders before making a selection.

Make sure you buy from a reputable breeder that has had the parents OFA certified as well as their eyes and hearts checked. I would ask to see the health records of the previous 2 generations and ask to speak to previous buyers as well. As with any large breed dog, its a good idea to get pet health insurance as they are prone to joint problems, gastric bloat and other emergencies.

My husband had one when he was a kid. He said they eat a ton and poop huge. They also slobber. You need to have a really big yard for them also.
