As a large breed dog owner, I can confirm that I did indeed wake up one day and decide I wanted a horse in my house. As I described it to my family when they questioned my sanity, I said, "I want people to have to do a double take when I walk him because I want them to be unsure if I'm walking a bear, a small horse, or an unreasonably large dog." I got exactly what I wanted. My family continues to question my sanity, but they love my dog.

My university had three St Bernard therapy dogs that would come in during finals week-Bea, Bobo, and Boomer. They were such sweethearts, they’d all just flop down on the floor of the library and let a gaggle of students surround them for pets and cuddles. Boomer starting coming to campus as a puppy, and even as he got fully-grown he still tried to sit on people’s laps like he was still a little puppy 😂

I had 3 Bouvier de flandres that can get from 40kg to 50kg maybe more for males and they were all like this St Bernard... giant puppys that loved to stay around, very gentle and calm. now I have one that is a mix of a Bouvier with a border collie and sometimes he still thinks he is a puppy and wants to jump on our laps.

I grew up with St. Bernards and Newfoundland’s in our home. We never had a problem with any of these dogs being mean or aggressive. You can brush them, wash them, trim their fur, cut their nails, use noisy electric shavers....as long as you’re not causing them any pain, they will be very docile. If they get annoyed with something (or someone) they almost always walk away. They’re also great with children, they are natural babysitters. They sense that children are small and fragile, so they’re gentle with them. You do have to be careful that they don’t sit on a small child, or accidentally knock them over with their tail, but otherwise it’s a perfect breed for families.

I don't like to spoil your believes, but the original Sint Bernards at the swiss monastery did not carry a vessel with brandy around their necks, because alcohol dilutes the bloodvessels and that would only result in an even faster cooling down of the body of tje person in distress.

TBF, Dire Wolves aren’t as big as people tend to imagine In Height and Length, they’re about the same size as Canadian Northwestern Wolves and the biggest Eurasian Wolves, which are the largest modern wolf subspecies. However, in weight, Dire Wolves are about 130-150 pounds (or 60-70 Kilograms). This is far heavier then most modern wolves. (Ironically, they’re still lighter then this Saint Bernard)

[@kanishkanvariketta9701]

@@andrewb6194 Well St Bernards are as big as wolves, and dire wolves are bulkier and a couple inches taller than grey wolves so it could've been more plausible to have 200 lb dire wolves in the ice age

This is also something that a lot of brachycephalic dog owners need to be aware of. (Most brachys are "wrinkly" which pushes the skin around the face into uncomfortable positions.) As long as you have one from a decent breeder, or that's been properly looked after, they should be fine as the owner will have started treatment early. But it's not always a one and done. As they grow they might need a repeat operation or two. 😉

When I grew up this one person in my neighborhood had a chihuahua and one St. Bernard. It would look so funny to see them out on walks because of the different sizes of the dogs. Apparently they were very well matched because they needed about the same amount of physical activity (she explained that even if the St. Bernard was a big dog, it needed calm walks due to its heart and a chihuahua is not a dog you take on intense long walks).

2:12 - I grew up on a farm and when I finally bought my own home it came with 10 acres of land. Adopting a rescue St. Bernard/German Shepard (145lbs) was the best decision of my adult life. A Saint Bernard laying around your house isn't much different than having a teenage boy laying around your house, except the Dog is way more affectionate and despite the breed's stubbornness really wants to be a good boy. My giant dog is way easier to be in the same room with than my adult son now, the dog is bigger than my son xD

We went to the shelter SPECIFICALLY for a small breed dog, but I end up with Lady, a 5 year old black labrador retriever. As soon as I walked up to her cage we instantly connected, among all the other dogs there she was the only quiet one and she followed me back and forth from her two way cage doors. I took her home and named her Luna, I had her for 10 years, she helped me greatly with my depression. I loved her so much. But to answer your question, no, I didn't plan on bringing a horse into my home, it just came to be that way.
