Multiple Saint Bernards In Your Home

You often hear from Saint Bernard fanciers that one is never enough.  I know we went from just one, to two, and then to three.  We had a wonderful experience with just one and even two Saint Bernards in our home.  The same was not true when we jumped to three.  The three consisted of one male and two females.  The two females got to the point where they could not be kept together.

This was a very hard adjustment for us.  We wanted all three and we wanted them to be together and get along.  It meant changing our entire family life to keep the two females separate and safe.  You find out that it is not at all unusual for females to not get along; but that does not make dealing with this problem any easier.  Of course, it didn’t help when initially the breeder tells you that you caused the problem.  There is some truth in this statement but it isn’t your fault and you did not cause the problem.  It actually goes to the dynamics of dogs trying to figure out where they belong in a pack.  Think about it, two females and one male, both females will want top billing.
