 Reader's Comments on this Breed
   

From Nell, Wisconsin
Saint Bernards are loving dogs.  They occasionally slobber and shed. Saint Bernards are also powerful dogs. They, or at least mine, likes to sleep a lot! But when they are awake they play outside with the kids and are very gentle, considering their size. I strongly recommend this dog breed.
