The St. Bernard is
powerful, strong, muscular with an some what sad looking
expression. He is a faithful, gently, kindly breed who
loves children. He requires no training for his work
since generations of service seemed to have stamped the
rescuing instinct upon his character. Because of his
size he does not make a breed for an apartment dweller
as he needs plenty of space and large food rations. A
well-trained Saint Bernard is a mellow, affectionate,
lazy dog who will protect your home. Until the bones are
fully formed in puppies it is best to keep their
activity to a minimum
