Do You Really Want A Big Dog? (cont.)

The prospective buyer of a big dog should give pause to all of these things.  Saint Bernards in particular become very attached to their families.  Those cute little balls of fur turn into 100 to 200 pounds of mega producers of drool and they also shed more fur than you can ever imagine.  Many people cannot handle this bigger dog and all that comes with it; so they drop them off at shelters and rescue agencies.  These individuals do not have a clue how devastating this is to a big Saint Bernard.  So stop and think before you decide to get a big dog; remember big responsibilities come with a big dog.  The purchase of a big dog should be for the life of that dog; if you cannot make that commitment then don’t buy a big dog.
