I am a hobby breeder and since the 90s I have worked as a professional behaviourist and dog trainer.
More about the behaviour work on my business listing,but please be assured all advice is force free.
Over the years many of my dogs have worked for me as 'stooges',ls dne occasional media work. As well as other giant breeds I have kept one family of St. Bernards for twenty-five years,they are now my only breed and currently have four generations to meet and cuddle. Alchazandis St. Bernards have usually reached ten years plus,and some have lived to 14 years.
I have bred smooth dogs but Alchazandis are generally known to be rough classically marked dogs. Every generation I have kept at least one and they have all been placed at Crufts although I show infrequently.
In 2020 my 13 month old adored Bardot, pictured with me below, won a third at Crufts her second ever show. Her father Spanner took fourth in his class last year and second in Puppy in 2019
In 2021 Bardot had pups, I chose to keep Dory, but Bardot loved Blixen best.. so we obviously kept both!! y sadly later that year we lost Bardot in the vets post op after an accident. I'm so glad i still have her two daughters.
Her daughter Dory, Spanner's grandaughter, came second in her class to the bitch who went on to take Best of Breed.
Update September 2024
Spanner id now a veteran , pic with me running is Spanner aged 7 winning Best Veteran in Breed at hi first CH show since March 2019
I'm on site to advertise our first and probaby only litter of 2024.
Blixen mentioned above is mum..
Blixen won Fourth place in Limit bitch at Crufts 2024,seeimage
Enquiries are still welcomed.
In most cases I will homecheck potential enquirers, there is a contract of sale and I encourage all new owners to watch the PuppyCulture film about early rearing . Our pups are extensively well socialised and I tend to prefer to sell them a little older than many breeders, to teach basic commands crate/leash/whistle/clicker/toilet train and have them well used to many different things before leaving their mum, and tend to stagger puppy leaving age to suit the needs of each pup and family, usually between ten and twelve weeks ideally.
....
The pictured pup was 8 weeks old at that time, he is not one of the current litter, but gives an idea of the quality of our pups
if you want to know more about the breed please feel free to enquire and come for a visit any time.
I will explain health tests.. hips elbows eye and heart certificates, and cover other topics too.
Saints vary widely in type size and temperament, also online advice about them can be misleading.
Ours tend to make up to 65-80kg bitches and 85-95kg dogs but this can vary and it is not always possible to predict a dog's adult size.
I take dogs of my breeding back for life, so if you are looking for an older dog of either of these breeds, it is worth enquiring to me. Placing adult dogs is even trickier than pups as the home must fit the dog. I rarely publicly advertise the adults, who will stay with me until the RIGHT home comes along which could be years i can also put you in touch with the breed rescues whether you want to take on or relinquih a dog. Also, I do not usually take in dogs not bred by myself, that would be exceptional, but I may be able to work with you so that you do not have to give up on your dog. Or possibly help you find your original breeder. For pups I have bred, full lifetime backup advice is always available at no charge. If you email please include a telephone number, thank you
NO overseas enquiries please I will NOT export.
Alchazandis dogs are also NOT at public stud
NO breeding enquiries please.. Family Pet enquiries only, thankyou
