決める前に知っておくこと
Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:
Despite their size, Saints are profoundly needy. They do not tolerate isolation well and can develop destructive separation anxiety. A 160lb dog with anxiety can destroy drywall, doors, and furniture in minutes.
While benevolent, they are not blindly obedient like a Golden Retriever. They possess a slow-burning stubbornness; if a Saint Bernard decides not to move, you cannot physically force them. This requires patience and psychological motivation rather than physical correction.
Between 8 and 24 months, they are essentially giant, clumsy puppies. They can unintentionally knock over children, grandparents, and furniture. Leash manners must be solidified before they reach full weight, or they will become dangerous to walk.
