Multiple Saint Bernards In Your Home

(continued from yesterday)

Unless you have a strong relationship in your family, I do not recommend taking on a problem like this.  Our first instinct was to return the younger female to the breeder.  The breeder said we were getting rid of the wrong female; he felt this one had great potential for the show ring.  So we kept both and tried to make the best of it.

On down the road, the female with the great potential did not develop in the show ring; so the handler/breeder stopped showing her.  The problem with the two females only worsened.  So what do we have to show for all our effort to work through this problem?  We have three dogs that we love individually.

I do not recommend that you ever try to keep large breed dogs in your home that do not get along.  If you have a kennel that would be different;  that is an environment that can accommodate these sort of problems.  Trust your instincts on dealing with a serious problem like this.  We should have returned the younger female, it would have saved us so much stress and grief.
