                            SAINT BERNARD BREED INFO

Considering a  Saint Bernard dog or puppy??
Read the facts about this breed before considering that puppy, nothing
is
sugar coated on this site, a breeder former club member tells it like
it is
and exposes what goes on...Topics covered  are; health, hips,
breeders, clubs,
eyes,  hypothyroidism, show wins taking more precedence than health,
and
much more.
It covers in detail  the fact that while there's  a 48% hip dysplasia
rate, and
800 + members in the national club  (whose motto is; "Dedicated to the
welfare
of the St Bernard dog") only a tiny handfull of breeders even do hip
xrays to
at least TRY and control this genetic disease that cripples dogs!
Read how dogs with hypothyroidism are simply bred ANYWAY, just because
they win at shows, thus perpetuating this disease.
Also read how the club restricts their educational magazine on the
breed to
club members ONLY, so You have to fork over $35 to join their elitist
club just
to get the magazine.
Read how over 100 breed clubs all have representatives appointed to
distribute
hip dysplasia information and resources, while breeders do their best
to
x-ray and  at least TRY, while Saint breeders dont....

Also visit the dog welfare home page, this site is concerned with the
erosion of dog owners rights, and the rights to own and responsibly
breed
our purebred dogs.

There is a St Bernard mailing list and a dog welfare mailing list with
aprox 25 and 35 subscribers respectively.
