St. Bernard
Barrel-necked mountain dog
St.
Bernard is a very large breed of dog, originally bred by monks at a Swiss hospice to rescue travelers lost in Alpine snowstorms.
The breed is known for its massive size, gentle temperament, and thick coat.
Popular imagery depicts St.
Bernards carrying small barrels of brandy around their necks, though this is largely mythical: a St. Bernard puppy that will eventually weigh 150 pounds.
