What an incredible day here in southern Michigan..a perfect temperature with both sunshine and a bit of cloud cover..throw in just a few sprinkles and you have perfect Saint Bernard weather! It is the most amusing thing to watch the puppies, who are busy smelling EVERYTHING and chasing every grasshopper that dares to jump, notice it is lightly raining..at first it doesn't catch their attention--but before long they are looking around, wondering..and finally thet get it and it becomes an all out wrestling match..THE DIRTIEST PUPPY WINS!!!
These are such
happy puppies. When we hear from the families that take home our pupies is always to share how much this creature has enriched their family life..really, it would be nice to say we are responsible for the great dog they have chosen, but in reality we have to give credit to the breed-Saint Bernards are AWESOME family companians!
I do have to say though, I feel it makes a difference that our puppies are handled from birth by our whole family..big hands and little hands..even tiny hands.. and those puppies know they are loved..with out a doubt. When they are lovinly cuddled by a small child, or carried in the crook of an arm of a teenage boy..they feel the love and protectiveness..and in turn, I beleive it inspires them to be the best they can be..they want to please their companian..it is in their earliest memory!! They remember the joy on the face of a small child when they first barked..or the time when they finally outran the super fast kindergartener..they live to be your best friend. You can't beat our puppies..when it comes down to the nitty gritty..it doesn't matter what kind of "linage" a puppy can boast of, but what kind of beginning it has lived.
