Summary
About Saint Bernard
Large, gentle mountain dog developed by Swiss monks for rescue and companionship. Calm and affectionate, especially with children, but very big, drooly, and heavy shedding. Needs moderate exercise, careful joint and health management, and close inclusion in family life.
About Broholmer
The Broholmer is a large, calm Danish mastiff-type guardian, devoted to its family and home. Steady, watchful, and typically gentle, it needs moderate exercise, mental stimulation, and close companionship. Still rare outside Scandinavia, breeding emphasizes health and stable temperament.
