Saint Bernard Dogs and the importance of responsible dog ownership!!!
INTRODUCTION

The Saint Bernard is a giant among dogs; he is kind, gentle, loves children
and is an excellent family pet. The Greater Washington Saint Bernard Club
welcomes your interest in our breed.

HEREDITARY DEFECTS

The following is a list of common hereditary defects found in Saint Bernards
for which breeders should screen their dogs. Problems, however, are not
limited to this list:

  • Hip and Elbow Dysplasia

  • Entropian (see AKC Rules governing dog shows; dogs who have
    undergone corrective surgery CANNOT be shown)

  • Epilepsy

  • Bad Temperament

  • Heart Defects

FACTS

1.  Puppy buyers should visit as many breeders as possible and ask to see
the parents of the puppies.

2.  ALL Saints should be friendly and outgoing.

3.  Puppies should be kept in a clean environment and be socialized by the
breeder.

4.  Puppies should not leave the kennel or their litter mates until a minimum of
eight weeks.

5.  Breeders should be happy to give you references.

6.  Responsible breeders provide AKC registration papers with each dog
unless reasons such as spay/neuter are provided.

7.  The average life expectancy of a Saint Bernard should be 8-10 years.

8.  Saints do DROOL - there is no such thing as a dry mouth.

9.  All Saints shed.

10.  Saints are NOT guard dogs.

11.  Breeders should be responsible for the dogs they have bred and be
willing to find new homes for the occasional dog who
needs it.

12.  High prices do not determine quality.
