The Saint Bernard Club of America would like you to know that there may be breeders who make misleading statements about our breed. Both coat types are considered of equal quality in the Standard for the Saint Bernard.
Saints drool and shed.
These qualities have nothing to do with the value and price of a Saint. Life expectancy is the same as with other giant breeds - 7 to 12 years. NO one bloodline is guaranteed too live for 14 or 15 years and all others just 6. The value of your Saint is NOT dependent on the fact that his relatives may have been in movies or on TV, sold to the King of Siam, etc. And, size is not the only criterion for choosing a Saint.
