One: The Physical Characteristics of the Saint Bernard Dog

The Saint Bernard boasts a broad and round head, with a welldefined forehead and distinct features. Its mouth and nose are both short and thick, with smooth cheeks and lips that curve slightly upwards. The dog has mediumsized, drooping ears, and its eyes are a rich copper color, complemented by a black nose. Its body is broad, tall, and robust, with a particularly strong and deep chest. The back is powerful and slopes slightly towards the waist. The Saint Bernard's coat is dense and comes in shades of red and brown, reminiscent of red, orange, and even other hues. Typically, the chest, limbs, and tip of the tail are white, adorned with patches of various colors. When this majestic dog raises its head and chest, its strength and power are evident, thanks to its welldeveloped hindquarters and legs. The Saint Bernard's paws are particularly large, with toes that are prominently arched. Its tail is long, with a high set, hanging naturally when at rest and curling upwards during work. It is truly a large, quintessential working dog!

Two: How to Care for a Saint Bernard Dog

For puppies still in the weaning stage, owners must provide them with meticulous care. At this stage, the puppies' bodies are not fully developed, their immune systems are weak, making them prone to illness, and their nutritional requirements are high. However, they grow at a rapid pace.

For young puppies, mother's milk is the primary source of nutrition. Therefore, it is crucial for owners to ensure that the puppies receive ample milk and to establish a regular feeding schedule. A few days after birth, pet parents can take advantage of a sunny afternoon to take the puppies, the mother, and the entire family outside for a halfhour. This allows the puppies to breathe in fresh air and helps eliminate bacteria from the mother's body, benefiting their bone development and preventing joint diseases!

By the time the dog reaches three years old, its claws will have grown deep, causing discomfort and potentially scratching the mother's breasts or harming other dogs during feeding. Regular claw trimming is essential. Puppies can start worming treatments as early as one month old. Around 40 days after birth, it's time for the puppy to receive its first vaccinations!
