Also known as the St. Bernard or Saint Bernhard, the Saint Bernard is a gentle giant famous for its patience, loyalty, and calm demeanor. Despite their massive size, these dogs are affectionate and friendly, earning a reputation as loving family companions and dependable protectors. Often nicknamed the “nanny dog,” the Saint Bernard is known for its easy-going temperament and devotion to family life, making it an excellent companion for households with children.
The breed originated in the Swiss Alps, where Saint Bernards were bred by hospice monks to rescue lost travelers and haul carts through deep snow. These heroic dogs are credited with saving more than 2,000 lives between the 1600s and 1700s. In the 1800s, monks began crossing their Saints with Newfoundlands to increase size and strength, which produced dogs with longer coats. Around this time, the breed spread to England and the United States, and by 1888 the Saint Bernard Club of America was formed. The Saint Bernard became one of America’s most beloved breeds during the 1960s and 70s and remains a symbol of courage and companionship to this day.
Saint Bernards are characterized by their droopy eyes, floppy ears, pronounced jowls, and large, muscular build. Their coats can be short or long, most commonly in shades of red, brown, or brindle combined with white. These calm, intelligent dogs are gentle with children and welcoming toward strangers, though they remain protective if their family is threatened. Training should start early while they’re still manageable in size. Grooming involves weekly brushing (daily during shedding seasons), and owners should clean their eyes regularly to avoid staining. While Saint Bernards don’t need strenuous exercise, they do require daily walks to stay fit and prevent joint issues. They are moderate shedders year-round, with heavier shedding in spring and fall, and—true to their alpine origins—prefer cooler weather to heat.
