Saint Bernard Breed Information

Saint Bernards 2008 Wall Calendar
The Saint Bernard is a tough working dog who was originally put to work as a rescue dog in the High Swiss Alps. The spirits carried around its neck provided the rescued with warmth to combat the cold temperatures. This big dog is also known for its loyalty, love, and gentleness. They love children. Truly a dog worthy of its size, this 2006 wall calendar is devoted to the huge, huggable St. Bernard.
