Two Saint Bernard Puppies Fit in a Basket, For Now

AI imagesaint bernardwicker basketpuppies

Two Saint Bernard puppies sit in a woven basket on a wooden floor, their red-brown ears flopping beside white faces. Big dark eyes look straight into the camera, one with a little pink tongue peeking out. A soft blanket is tucked into the basket, and the room behind shows a window, a plant, and a gray throw tossed across a chair.

Saint Bernards are one of the largest dog breeds, and it is hard to believe that these round, soft pups will grow into very big dogs. The breed is named for the Great St. Bernard Hospice in the Swiss Alps, where dogs of this type were kept by monks and were known for helping travelers. Today they are gentle family pets, known for patient, friendly temperaments.

Because of their size, giant-breed puppies need careful feeding and moderate exercise, so their bones and joints develop steadily. Many vets suggest a food made for large-breed puppies, and they warn against overfeeding, which can speed growth too much. Saint Bernards also drool, so a towel nearby is a handy tool. Ask your vet for a plan tailored to your puppy.

For now, the basket fits them both, though not for long. Enjoy the sweet, small version while it lasts. Whatever they grow into, right now they are small, warm, and thoroughly sweet, and the basket suits them both.
