تاريخSaint Bernard
The Saint Bernard dog breed originated in the Western Alps, specifically in Switzerland and Italy, primarily at the Great St. Bernard Pass. However, the pass was known to be highly dangerous, which is why a certain Bernard de Menthon created the Great St. Bernard Hospice.
Here, the ancestors of the modern St. Bernards were gifted by the families of the Vaud and Valais cantons. These dogs were bred for guarding and protecting, but they quickly developed rescuing skills.
In 2005, the Barry Foundation was created. It became the main breeding center for the breed, named after the most heroic Saint Bernard, with over 40 rescues.
Today, the Saint Bernard dog continues to grow in popularity. With its affectionate nature and loyal personality, the breed has become a favorite for all dog lovers.

صيانة المعاطف
Short-haired St. Bernards need brushing at least once a week, while long-haired St. Bernards need to be brushed twice or thrice a week. A slicker brush is the best brush for the job.
صحة البشرة
Their dense coat makes them prone to skin allergies and issues, so they require regular brushing and bathing. Use shampoos that work best with the St. Bernard’s coat.
روتين الاستحمام
Bathing can be done every 2 to 3 months, depending on the coat length. Use gentle shampoos and be sure to dry them thoroughly to prevent any moisture from staying.

The nails should be trimmed every 3 to 4 weeks, or until they get too long. If you hear the sound of nails clashing on the floor, it’s time to trim them. Use sharp clippers for the job.
