HOW WE BECAME SAINT BREEDERS
Thanks for visiting our website. I am called David Athena. The Athena family are the owners of Elegant Saint Bernards. My wife and I are pet lovers so we took up the initiative to breed these lovely dog breeds to satisfy the needs of families who will want to own or add a new member to their family. My knowledge about the Saints has grown as the years go by as they are a dog breed that is very smart and make us learn new things every day. My history with owning a puppy goes right back to my Christmas holidays when I was 10 years old. My parents bought me a lovely St.Bernard puppy which I named Liam. Liam gave me a lot of childhood memories when I was growing up as a teen. He was more than a best friend to me. He was so lovely and friendly. Each time I got angry back then about something, Liam was always there to console me and make me smile again. I always thought he could talk as he understood me so much. I always speak to him at times hoping he will respond. Everywhere I went, Liam was with me. I met my wife in college. We were very good friends back then. She loved Liam until she insisted her parents should get her a St.Bernard. That was how our love for this lovely dog breed grew up. Our dogs use to play together. Unfortunately in our later years at college, I lost my lovely puppy, Liam. We grew up loving each other so much and loving this dog breed. Later on, we got married and with our love for St.Bernard, we decided to breed and raise this dog breed and why not educate puppy lovers about the importance of owning a Saints puppy. Fast forward to today, we breed this lovely dog breed in our 3 acres of land where our puppies have enough space to play around. My family and I are dedicated to helping everyone own the perfect, healthy puppy for their home. With our knowledge of this dog breed from childhood, we will say St.Bernard is the best dog to own. We spend our time training these puppies and making sure we help families own the most intelligent of this dog breed.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SAINT PUPPIES
We understand many people may have little or no knowledge about this dog breed before owning one. Scroll down below and read more about the Saint dog breed
Temperament:
Calm and easygoing, Saint Bernard is a low-energy dog and a slow mover. It learns quickly but tends to respond methodically. The Saint is very affectionate and demonstrative toward family and fairly friendly toward strangers
They are quick to alert family members of intruders. Train your dog on how to distinguish a threat from a friendly individual. This will keep him from barking at anyone crossing your home.
Nutrition and Feeding:
Adult Saint dogs need 1–2 cups of excellent-quality dog food per day. Before you decide to feed your dog, it’s vital to have a rudimentary understanding of the building blocks of a healthy and balanced canine diet.
Make sure to select a dog food that is rich in protein. Protein, such as beef, fish, eggs, and poultry, helps to build and maintain the dog’s muscles, organs, bones, and immune system.
Whereas good fats, such as chicken fat, lamb fat, and fats coming from sunflower oil, provide energy.
Health and Exercise:
The Saint dog breed has an average lifespan of 08–10 years. Many ailments and health conditions are hereditary, meaning they are associated with the dog’s breed.
Though St.Bernard is a very good breed, if not well taken care of, they may suffer from illnesses like Nephroliths (kidney stones), Pulmonic Stenosis. Thus your Saint needs to feed healthy and well taken care of. Make sure they do a lot of exercises and take them on walks as they have enough strength in them
