The St. Bernard is a breed of very large working dog from the western Alps in Switzerland, France and Italy. They were originally bred at the Great and Little St. Bernard Pass for rescue. The breed has become famous through tales of alpine rescues, as well as for its enormous size (60-120 kg and 70-90cm shoulder height). The earliest written records of the St. Bernard breed are from monks at the hospice at the Great St. Bernard Pass in 1707, with paintings and drawings of the dog dating even earlier. The most famous St. Bernard to save people at the pass was Barry, who reportedly saved somewhere between 40 and 100 lives.
This toy is suitable for children of any age and babies. Important: remove all plastic fasteners and the tag before giving the toy to a child!
