A website designed by the breeds St Bernard Clubs throughout the UK. The information contained in these pages, is aimed towards raising & breeding a healthier St Bernard for new & existing owners alike.
With the ever growing sceptism within the Pedigree Dog world, St Bernards unfortunately became one of the breeds that has come under the spotlight regarding problems that seem to have appeared or become more apparent over the last few years.
Because of this, the St Bernard Breed Clubs (The English, The Eastern, The Scottish & The United) formed a 'Health & Welfare Group' under the guidance of The Kennel Club. Each Club has Commitee members to represent them, & it is the intention that we meet regularly to discuss problems, issues & any concerns regarding our lovely breed. We have a Breed Health Co-Ordinator who liaises with the Kennel Club Health Co-ordinator & a Breed Health Assessor who will keep copies of the upcoming Visual Health Assessme
