SAINT BERNARD PUPPIES

The St. Bernard or Saint Bernard (UK: /ˈbɜːrnərd/, US: /bərˈnɑːrd/) is a breed of very large working dog from the Western Alps;[3] they were originally bred for rescue work by the hospice of the Great St Bernard Pass on the Italian-Swiss border,[4][5] with Switzerland recognized as its country of origin by the FCI. [1] The hospice, built by and named after the Alpine monk Saint Bernard of Menthon, acquired its first dogs between 1660 and 1670. [4] The breed has become famous through tales of Alpine rescues, as well as for its large size and gentle temperament.
