Make sure you read up on the breed first and go to a reputable breeder if your not going to rescue!

We just got our 3rd Saint Bernard in at the Humane Society since I've worked there. The male, Brutis, got adopted. We still have Pumpkin, the female, and yesterday we got another male named Tiny.

Brutis I'd have to say was the worst, dangerous?, yes and no. He wasn't trained and he was well frankly stupid. He would pull when he wanted to go somewhere, he jumped up when he got really excited, and would roar when another dog barked. I can't tell you how many times I had to walk away from everyone so they wouldn't see me crying because of him. Once a dog at the end of the kennel was barking and Brutis flipped out and tried to run over to him to bark. I had just got done walking him, so I was trying to put him in his kennel. He pulled me, my skin got caught on a latch, and basically my shoulder was ripped on the latch being pulled by him, it took about 10 minutes to get him back in the kennel and that was when another person walked in the room and saw what happened.

Pumpkin is so much better, she doesn't pull but she does jump. She's smaller than Brutis so it's not as harmful, we still don't encourage it.

Tiny was a return, he was to aggressive with strangers, but from what I've heard from other HS workers, he was the best big dog ever at the HS. So I guess I'll see what happens with him.
