About Saint Bernard

The Saint Bernard is a breed of very large working dog from the Swiss Alps. Originally bred for rescue work by the hospice of the Great St Bernard Pass on the Italian-Swiss border, these dogs are renowned for their strength, loyalty, and gentle disposition. Saint Bernards stand tall and possess a muscular build, perfectly suited to their historical role of locating and assisting travelers stranded in the snow. Their thick double coat provides insulation against the harsh alpine environment, and their keen sense of smell allows them to detect people buried under snowdrifts. Today, Saint Bernards are beloved family companions, though their size and exercise needs require careful consideration.

Size Overview

Saint Bernards are truly giant dogs! An adult Saint Bernard typically measures around 1400mm (140cm) in width and length, and reaches a height of approximately 850mm (85cm). To put that into perspective, a Saint Bernard is about the size of a small loveseat sofa, or roughly as tall as a kitchen countertop. While they won't fit in the palm of your hand, their head alone might be about the size of a basketball! Understanding the Saint Bernard size is essential before welcoming one into your home, ensuring you have enough space for this gentle giant.
