Being very gentle and obedient, the Saint Bernard is a fantastic pet for the entire family. Training this dog is important as it becomes so large and this is best to do at a young age. Its immense strength can prove to be overwhelming for most people but it is a very good natured dog in general. They can however prove to be fairly messy animals too.
