A Short History of the Saint Bernard

The Saint Bernard is a breed with a rich and storied history that dates back to the Swiss Alps in the late 17th century. The breed originated at the hospice established by Saint Bernard of Menthon, where monks began breeding these large dogs to serve as rescue animals for travelers lost in the treacherous mountain passes. The Saint Bernard was developed from native Swiss breeds, likely crossed with Mastiff-type dogs brought by the Romans. These dogs were renowned for their strength, endurance, and remarkable sense of direction, making them ideal for their rescue roles.

One of the most famous aspects of the Saint Bernard's history is their legendary rescue work, particularly during snowstorms and avalanches. These dogs were trained to find and aid lost or injured travelers, often carrying small barrels of brandy around their necks to provide warmth and comfort. Their keen sense of smell and ability to navigate through deep snow made them invaluable in saving countless lives. One of the most legendary Saint Bernards, Barry, is credited with saving over 40 lives during his time at the hospice.

In the 19th century, the breed's population suffered due to severe winters and disease. To revive their numbers, Saint Bernards were crossbred with Newfoundlands and other large breeds. This introduced some variations in their coat type and appearance. The breed was officially recognized by the Swiss Kennel Club in 1884, and shortly thereafter by the American Kennel Club in 1885. Today, the Saint Bernard is celebrated not only for their historical heroics but also for their role as gentle and affectionate family companions. Their legacy as lifesaving dogs and their gentle, loyal nature have earned them a special place in the hearts of dog enthusiasts worldwide.
