Description
Dog Breed: Saint Bernard. Meet Walker! Walker is a handsome 3 year old Saint Bernard with a whole lot of dog to love, all 120 pounds of him! This big guy is looking for a forever home where he can settle in and enjoy life with his people. Walker needs to be the only pet in the home, so he’s looking for a family where he can soak up all the attention for himself. Because of his size, he would also do best in an adult only home or a home with older children who are comfortable around a dog his size. If you have room in your home, and on your couch, for 120 pounds of Saint Bernard, Walker may be the perfect addition to your family!

Overview:
The Saint Bernard is an iconic, gentle giant originating from the Swiss Alps, where they were famously bred by monks at the Great St. Bernard Hospice for rescue missions. Physically, they are magnificent dogs, known for their substantial size, powerful build, and a distinctive broad head often featuring a wrinkled brow and soulful eyes. Their thick coat, which can be smooth or rough, is typically a striking combination of white with patches of red, mahogany, or brindle. Temperamentally, Saint Bernards are renowned for their calm, patient, and affectionate nature, making them excellent companions and remarkably tolerant with children, earning them the nickname "nanny dog." However, due to their immense size, they are generally not well-suited for apartment living, thriving best in homes with a spacious yard and owners committed to their exercise needs. Prospective owners should also be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and eye conditions, necessitating responsible breeding and regular veterinary care for these beloved giants.
