Crothers
We purchased our St. St. Berner (7/8 St. Bernard, 1/8 Bernese Mntn. Dog) June 2008. At five and a half months,(Oct 2008) he weighs over 75 lbs (lean, not fat). He is gentle with our cats (3) our kids (6, 4 of which are 7 or under) and our other dog (5 yo. f. Akita/Lab)and easy to train though a bit over eager to please. He is extremely friendly with strangers and loves water.

He learned "sit, down, dead dog, and shake" with no trouble and loves tug-of-war and fetch, is incredibly soft-mouthed, and like most big dogs, clumsy. House-trained early and easily.

Looks like a St. Bernard without the white neck collar, nearly pure sable, black mask, white paws and blaze. Soft coat, tons of drool, and Crothers (think Scatman Crothers) likes to drink out of the bathroom sink.

Awesome disposition, open and interested in everyone and happy. Well-loved by his whole family, and recommended by his mom. If you have a decent sized yard, and can train with love and treats, a St. Berner makes a fabulous family pet.
