The Saint Bernard is one of the giants of the canine world. But also very affectionate. You could say that it is a "piece of bread", since it gets along wonderfully well with human beings. It is very very social and the fact that he has that peculiar look makes our hearts melt.
If you are thinking of increasing the family and you are looking for information on breeds, I invite you to meet this magnificent dog. Let's know what the San Bernardo is like.
Physical characteristics of the Saint Bernard
Let's first talk about how it is physically. This dog can weigh between 60 and 90kg, with a height at the withers of about 70cm in the case of males, and less than 65cm in females. The coat is short, white and brown or white and red. The head is rounded, with hanging ears.
Has a life expectancy of 12 years, but it may be the case that he lives to 15 or even a little longer. Everything will depend on the genetics of the animal itself, and how it is cared for.
Behavior of the Saint Bernard
The Saint Bernard is a very large dog and, above all, very calm that will surprise all members of the household. It is faithful y loyal to those who take care of it, although it will need a lot of space to be able to run and play. For this reason, it is also necessary to take him out for long walks, since otherwise he could start to behave in an inappropriate way. But for the rest, this magnificent animal will love spending time resting watching television with you 🙂.
The cost of the veterinarian, his care and feeding can be very high, but if you decide to have a Saint Bernard as a pet, you will find an excellent four-legged friend in him.
