St. Bernard
One of the most popular of the large breed, winter loving dogs is a Saint Bernard. But despite its size, it’s full of gentleness and joy.
Saint Bernards have been known for search and rescue in the mountains because they are powerful and well-muscled. This breed is named after St. Bernard pass – a treacherous pass in the Alps between Italy and Switzerland where the breed rescued many lost people in avalanches and snow. This dog is patient, gentle and easygoing with children so even though they like cold weather – their personalities are warm.
Short runs and moderate walks are all the Saint Bernard needs to be happy. Their coats require weekly brushing and even more during shedding season.
