Saint Shepherd

He is being a great companion, easy to train. He bites a lot so cant let him play with my kid when he is full of energy. He is super fluffy and needs a lot of daily attention and care to make him exercise and train.

very fun will not play fight with human overly loving great companions they are brothers and love small kids very gentle

So far, so good. We have had him for just a couple of days and he is so intelligent and picks up on so much.

Gus was easily trained as a puppy and even as recently as last year. He caught on to a trick after 3 tries. He is so smart that he knows when to engage in shenanigans quickly without being caught in the moment. He's great with our cats and very patient with children of all ages. 2 years ago, he was diagnosed with a type of sarcoma that we caught early. Just recently he has had difficulty walking. We're awaiting radiology results, but fear the worst for his right hip and shoulder.

Lucy was adopted from an ill home, but you would never know it. She has always been so sweet, if timid, and loves to explore on the farm. She is definitely the best farm dog we have- her adventures never lead her to the neighbor's property, she always returns unharmed, and is the least hostile towards the horses and cats.

Moose has been the best addition to our family. He’s roughly 65lbs at 6 months old, soooo gentle with our 3 year old twin girls, and all he wants in life is to have his belly rubbed. Everyone one who meets him loves him and he loves them! Only health issue is his skin. May not be specific to the breed, but he has very sensitive skin and we have to watch for hot spots.

My little saint Shepherd is a very friendly outgoing little dog I'm sure the little part won't last long she wants to meet everyone very smart always wanting to play and have fun.

He is wonderful. Great with the kids, especially the baby. Favors the eldest child who is a dog fanatic and always buying and giving him treats. The way to this dogs heart is through his stomach

The BEST breed you can have!

We have an amazingly beautiful and intelligent dog. She is protective and affectionate. Used to be overly protective but has now calmed to be sensible in that respect. Best dog I’ve ever owned. Honestly we should train her more because she is extremely bright.

We love our little Goldie Bear she is growing rapidly and wants to be with us all the time she plays with the kids and likes me to hold her which is hilarious as she grows. She does escape but not to run away to visit the next door neighbors and to follow us when we leave her behind! We are still training her she is only 4 months old! She hops like a bunny when she plays and is the cutest sweetest dog!

Willow is more saint Bernard then german shepherd. I say she takes after her dad more. she's a lovely dog, and is growing fast and big. gaining about 4 to 5 pounds per week. she's a great dog, she loves everyone and I trust her to be around people. she has never tried to leave home, and prefers to be inside with us. she's extremely smart, picking up her training the day of. I would recommend this breed to anyone and I just wish I knew about this breed sooner.

Extremely obedient but can be stubborn. High energy, loves other dogs and children but mostly dogs. Gets hot easily so not a huge cuddler but will be once in a while. Loves laying on pillows. Loves to play keep away and have someone chase him.

Molly is mostly German Shepherd but has the ears and jowls of a Bernard. She is sooo fluffy and incredibly friendly. She wants to get to know everyone who walks past. She recently stopped biting everything, and she likes to collect socks and shoes in her bed. We've been training her regularly, and she learns so quickly. We love her :)

Smartest dog ever. Usually picks up tricks in a day. Pup likes to rough house with adult dog, and occasionally gets put in his place. Loves to play.

She likes to bite having a hard time breaking her of it

Cute and lively! But sometimes she’s picky on her food

Wally is a perfect rescued dog after being abandoned- underweight and flea/tick ridden, at an early age. A gentle giant who gets along wonderfully with our other dog and two cats.

Lulu was rescued from living in a car with her 7 sisters. One of them looks like a St. Bernard/GSD cross just like her but the others look more like German Shepherds. Lulu is extremely playful! She is calmer in social situations than most dogs though.

Coda is very intelligent, a rapid learner, funny, loving, gives super kisses although a little wet! Coda has a great personality and is very affectionate..great girl

My saint shepherd is very active, some people think shes dirty because of her fur but actually shes prety clean

We've had Tortellini less than a week but she's picking up all the house rules really quickly! Shes sweet, energetic, loving but prefers to lay on a cool surface or near the AC since she's so fluffy. I can update again when she's a little older (8 weeks right now)

He's super energetic and is so loving. But, with his large size, puppy mentality and energetic personality he gets super playful all the time.

She is more precious than diamond... Sulks everytime I scold her. .. Acts cute and need pooping training

He’s sweet but an asshole

Ted is house trained, first day he arrived he went straight to the training pad. He loves vegetables and has an amazing food diet. He loves to play but also loves to nap. He will bark when he needs to go out or if he has done something he should have. He is extremely fluffy and is extremely big for a pup his age. Everyone loves him when they meet since he just loves a good fuss and always loves to play with h new people. He is great with children and has never been nasty or sneaky around anyone. Very protective with people who are strange to him and will stand guard either side the family member or between their legs

She is very sweet and loves everyone and all dogs. Her biting is crazy right now. She’s a rescue so I’m not 100% that’s she’s a Saint Shepard but they said the owner surrendered the litter. All litter-mates look like a Saint Shepard but she has just Bernard look but short hair?! I would love to see everyone’s photos!

We got our little guy about three weeks ago. When we first brought him home, we didn't realize how clueless we were about keeping a puppy. Harbard became the dominant energy very quickly, but we began watching Dog Whisperer and learning how to help our dog be a dog, things have turned around in a VERY swift manner. He is listening, he is understanding our energy, we are claiming our space, and he has just improved by leaps and bounds. Draining his energy his definitely how we keep him calm. We go out for a 45 minute walk every morning and a 30 minute walk before bed with about 2 hrs total of play each day. These are dogs that need that verification, and conversation from their handlers. After that, you're golden. We love our Harbard and we are so proud of the relationship we are cultivating as Pack Leaders <3

My guy is a huge baby !! He loves to cuddle, great with my nephews who are 2 and tend to hit him or pull his tail but he never flinches or growls at them ever! He watches over them as they play, he loves going on walks, swimming, he rolls around and is forever outside in the snow!!! It’s so hard to get him inside during the winter lol. He’s an amazing companion and my true love. Very loving and loyal pup!

The best dog I’ve ever owned. Super smart, but also super laid back and lazy. He’s big, 80 pounds at 9 months, but he thinks he’s a little lap dog. Extremely friendly towards other people and other dogs. I have had him since he was 8 weeks, and he has had the same temperament/energy level since the beginning. I really lucked out with this one!

He’s very sleepy right now because of his age. he’s very sweet and great with other animals.

Got him free at 2 years old and not neutered. Best, most loyal dog Ive ever had. He is 11 and slowing down. I hate the thought of losing my sweet boy.

Bear has been a great dog since I got him 8 months ago. He had a rough start to life, spending his first months starving under a porch with a sick momma dog. Luckily, animal control found the and was able to save them! he was very skinny when I adopted him but put on weight fast. He has always been a cuddlebug and loves to be in your lap, though he can barely fit these days! he weighs about 120 lbs and is tall enough to sneak a bite off the dining table. He loves going on walks and drives in the car, and is pretty high energy for a large dog. He is great with learning tricks and is a good listener. Best dog I've ever had!

Groot is 9 months old and around 70 pounds. The biggest lap dog, and my baby. He is having skin issues right now, and has always had a sensitive stomach. He throws up in the car, & is always always acting like he’s hungry. He protects the momma but still gets nervous himself. Doesn’t like being alone at all, follows momma everywhere. Was difficult to potty train, and still have an accident here and there when nervous. Weary of strangers and hates the vet. Great with 3 kids under 10. Great with other dogs, especially the Great Dane next door. Loves cuddles, wrestling and zoomies in the yard.

I have had Reese for a month now. I rescued him from a no kill humane society in The Dalles Oregon. We bonded immediately and loves riding in my pickup with me. He was a surrender so have been working with him with the basics like: sitting, laying down, crawling, manners, walking and how to meet both people and other animals. He is high energy so lots of walks, going to off leash dog parks and loves running with the other dogs. He replaces my Red GoldenDoodle that I lost in a divorce. His name is a tribute to my brother whom I lost three years ago. My brother had all types if German Shepards and my brother loved Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

He is still very young (3 months) and not necessarily that heavy yet. We got him when he was 9 weeks old (13 pounds) and he has now grown to 26 pounds four weeks later. He is surprisingly energetic and also very intelligent. His paws, belly and end of tail is Snow White, besides that he has a beautiful dark tan color on the rest of his body except from his face, which is covered in a fully black mask contrasting his light brown eyes. His tail is super long, and resembles his fathers tail a lot (German shepherd). He is to no surprise the most amazing breed I have ever met in my life, and to my surprise, he is actually very obedient, which I didn’t think would be the case, since Saint Bernhardt are usually considered very stubborn👌

Our Remi boy is the absolute BEST dog we’ve ever had. He is loving and affectionate, great with kids and other animals. He has a human-like personality. He is 117lbs and thinks he is a lap dog.

Great family dog! Pretty easy to train- listens to sit, lay, go, stay and leave it. Really calm most of the time, but knows when it’s play time! Bella has been a joy since joining our family when she was just 8 weeks. We are a family of 6, so there were a few knock downs here and there with the children growing up. Now that they’re older, well not much has changed.😅She definitely thinks she’s a lap dog and is the perfect cuddle companion during backyard movie nights. We all have so much love and fun with her! We can’t imagine our family without her! ❤️

We've only had Velma for about a week now and she is such a good dog. We got her from a neighbor who no longer wanted her. She is so loving and affectionate. She's pretty calm but does love to play and likes lots of attention. I have a 3 year old and 1 year old and she's great around them. She respects their space and listens to commands. She is practically self potty trained. She was only an outside dog with previous owner but we have her inside and out, but she prefers to be inside. She definitely thinks she's a lap top. She's a big girl, bigger than I would have preferred in a dog, but we're lucky to have her.

We have had Sully since he was 6 weeks old and now he’s 11 months old. He is a very lazy dog who enjoys his naps and cuddling. He definitely thinks he’s a lap dog. He plays well with our Lab and our neighbors dogs. He enjoys terrorizing our cats. He is obsessed with food and drinking water. He hates swimming, running, walking, or really just any kind of exercise. He has a very laid back personality and is a sweetheart, however, he can be a bit of a guard dog as he doesn’t like unfamiliar people to come near our home but warms up to new people very quickly. Sully can be pretty stubborn but with consistency, can be trained to do new tricks. He loves his belly rubs and is jealous when his doggie sister gets pets instead of him. At 11 months, he weighs in at 105 lbs.

Excellent family and service dog but must have excersise and brushed daily After 1 yr and fixed her energy slowed slightly and she became easier to train

Luna is the sweetest dog! Guarded around people she doesn’t know but lovable once she does.

Our dog loves the water and is so friendly. She looks mainly like a German Shepherd. We got her when she was 6 months old. She was and is very stubborn, but is better about everything now except when she finds an animal to chase. She is fantastic with our kids, loves everyone, and will try to cuddle. She has not filled out at this point and you would not think she has any saint bernard in her, except we had her DNA run and she is indeed 50/50. She loves to swim and race through the creek and has endless amounts of energy.

Love this big boy. so sweet and loving. however he has separation anxiety so he goes to work in a LTC. love the residents and does very well with the elderly. he is 8 months ant weighs 110lbs. very stubborn tho and can be a jerk if he dont want to do something I defiantly have to be stronger tampered. Love this breed just amazing found him. He is very egar to please us so he tries hard. I wouldn't trade him for the world

Mattie is remarkable. We rescued her at two months old, not exactly sure what we would be getting out of a Saint/Shepherd mix. It seems like we got the best of both breeds: she's very laid back and incredibly smart. She loves to learn new commands and is OBSESSED with every puzzle toy we give her! Her little brain is so eager to work. When any of us in the house are doing something she thinks is unusual (this can be anything from assembling new furniture to making the bed), Mattie sits and studies us like she's trying to figure out what we're doing. The downside is she's too clever for us at times and we've had to get creative to curtail some of her bad habits (like digging through the garbage for interesting "toys"). We have to keep her busy with toys or puzzles, or she'll get into trouble around the house. Mattie is very vocal—probably the most talkative dog I've ever owned—and loves to let us know exactly what she's thinking. Usually it's that she's upset our other dog isn't sharing a toy, that our other dog is getting attention and she isn't, or that the cat is just out of her reach, but it can sometimes be hard to figure out what she's trying to tell us. We think getting Mattie a set of those trendy dog training buttons might be our next training project. Her energy level is lower than what we were expecting. She still has bursts of goblin behavior where nothing satisfies her and we need to throw every toy we have at her to see what will hold her interest. But she also spends a lot of time napping, and can be very slow to rouse in the morning—complete with loud complaints when everyone is out of bed but her. She has a very goofy personality. She lies down with her dish between her front legs when she eats and drinks. She loves water and volunteers for baths; she adores the cat and our teenage boys (the feeling even seems to be mutual with the cat, if you can believe it). She started with some resource guarding and biting issues, but she took to training beautifully and most of the issues have been worked out already. Overall she is a beautiful, intelligent, friendly little girl and we are so glad to have rescued her.

He is super friendly, loves to give kisses, loves to play, good with children, he's super fast when he runs, he's very protective of his family. He sheds a lot though
