Buying A Puppy Suggestions - cont.

It is a good idea to go to a dog show; all breed shows or a specialty show, just for Saint Bernards.  You will see a lot more Saint Bernards if you attend a specialty show.  Keep in mind that you should never disturb a handler or a dog before or while they are in the show ring.  The handler and dog are focused on the task at hand, winning in the show ring.  Once the judging is over, then you can approach people with your questions.  Some breeders have puppies there at a show and are willing to talk to people.  Some individuals at dog shows handle other breeds and do not have a lot of free time.  All you can do is approach people with Saint Bernards and see if they are available to talk to you.
