Saint Bernard is a large dog breed that came from Switzerland. The name "Saint Bernard" originates from a traveler's hospice on the often treacherous St. Bernard Pass in the Western Alps between Switzerland and Italy. The dogs were used as guarding, drafting, search and rescue dogs. It is believed that this breed descended from Roman mastiffs.

Saint Bernard is friendly and affectionate with its family, even to strangers. This breed is not a good choice as guard dog.
