Saint Bernard

Bred for rescue, this huge working dog is a hero dog both in Switzerland and Italy. The Saint Bernard earned its fame due to its large size and through tales of its rescues. Discover more about our Saint Bernard puppies for sale below!

Breed History 

The Saint Bernard breed originates from Switzerland. Native dogs of the Alps were crossed with Mastiffs to create the Saint Bernard. Then they were called the Alpine Cattle Dog. The Saint Bernard was named after Arch deacon Bernard who founded his hospice at a pass which was also named after him. 

The hospice made it easier for people to cross the pass and the Saint Bernard dogs were used by monks to protect the grounds. The location of the monastery built the dogs into a breed that can survive in the cold. When the Saint Bernard became popular in other countries, their type began to change. 

Crossbreeding made them taller and thinner. While some of these dogs are still at the hospice in Switzerland, they are no longer used to aid monks at the pass. They are now a reminder of the hospice history. 

Temperament

Saint Bernard’s heart is as huge as it is. Despite its big size, it is a sweet, patient and gentle dog breed. They love adults and children alike. The only threat they pose to little kids is knocking them over or involuntarily stepping on them. The Saint Bernard is sweet and affectionate. Socialization from an early age is important to expose them to new people, animals, and new environments. 

Environment

Saint Bernard is best kept indoors. They are prone to heat strokes so keeping them outside permanently would be bad for them. They are also companion animals and they thrive when living close to people. Though they are big dogs, when trained they can live inside a house without destroying any properties. It is important that they are taken outside at least once a day to exercise. 

Exercise

Though Saint Bernard doesn’t need too much exercise, it is necessary that they get enough to prevent obesity. They are big dogs and carrying extra weight can affect their joints, leading to arthritis. At least 30 minutes of exercise daily is enough for the breed. Note that this breed is prone to heatstroke so exercises are best done at night. If you want to take it on a walk during the day, ensure it’s a short walk and take some water along. Also, pay attention to it for any signs of exhaustion.

Grooming

Regular grooming is important to keep a Saint Bernard healthy. Brushing is required two to three times a week. If your dog grows mats on its thighs or ears, apply a detangler solution to straighten out the mat. Baths should be carried out monthly and outdoors because of their size. During the winter, it is best to bathe them indoors. Their teeth should be brushed at least twice a week and their nails should be trimmed monthly. It is also important that you clean their ears weekly.

American Bulldog

A huge part of the American culture, the American bulldog is one of the most loved and sought-after dog breeds in the United States and the world at large. Due to their obvious strength and agility, they are often viewed as a kind of cultural icon in America.  Discover more about our American Bulldog puppies for sale below!

Breed History 

In the past, the English bulldog was used by foreign immigrants who moved to South America and brought their dogs with them. They weren’t considered “breeds” but were more of a generic bulldog and were originally used as guard dogs for farmlands, stock, etc. 

The breed, however, became close to extinction after the second world war. Some breeders, John D. Johnson, and Alan Scott kept infusing several bulldogs together in the bid to breed the American Bulldog while monitoring its health and capabilities. 

Today, the American bulldog is completely rid of the fear of being extinct and has become one of the most popular dog breeds in the country.  

Temperament 

The American bulldog is many sizes larger than the English Bulldog; however, they are quite similar when it comes to their temperament. It is basically a huge, cuddly, lap dog that loves children and is very affectionate. It is brave, confident and extremely loyal to its owners. 

They can be quite reserved when around strangers as they like to mark their territories. When trained from a young age, the American Bulldog will display an impressive level of intelligence. They are not so friendly with other strange dogs and mostly like to keep to themselves.  

Environment 

As earlier stated, the American bulldog is a fun-loving, happy dog that thrives in a family setting. The perfect environment for this breed would be a home with a large backyard that is well fenced-in. Since they are very energetic and must be kept active, it is imperative to their growth that they have ample space to run around during the day. 

This is crucial for their mental and physical well-being. For dog lovers who live in apartments, the American bulldog might not be the best option for them. This is because there is inadequate space for them and being left alone would adversely affect their mental health. They can also become very irritable and destructive if left alone for long periods as they need constant mental and physical stimulation.  

Exercise 

The American Bulldog needs about two hours of outdoor exercise on a daily basis. It goes without saying that this breed is not suitable for people who work many hours every day. This dog breed requires basic physical and mental stimulation like jogging, walking, chasing balls, playing fetch, farm work, agility, and basic obedience exercises. 

Due to the temperament of the American Bulldog, it has to get as much exercise preferably in the outdoors. If its exercise requirements are not consistently met, this dog breed will take out its frustration in your home by chewing apart and basically destroying everything it comes in contact with while running around.  

Grooming 

The American Bulldog has quite a short coat with a minimized length and this feature makes it easy to groom. Brushing their coats weekly is usually enough when it comes to grooming the American Bulldog as they do not shed a lot. They also need thorough baths weekly or as needed as this will keep the shedding in check. 

Our American Bulldog puppies for sale come from either USDA licensed commercial breeders or hobby breeders with no more than 5 breeding mothers. USDA licensed commercial breeders account for less than 20% of all breeders in the country.
