Puppies grow EXTREMELY fast. Are you aware that the cute little fur balls at 8 weeks old turn into massive, 150 pound plus dogs who drool, shed as snore as adults?

What will you do to help socialize your Saint puppy?

Saint Bernards can live an average of 8 to 10 years and sometimes more. Are you willing to commit to a relationship that long?
