Puppy Breed: Saint Bernard

Reuben's mom says: Reuben Valentine was born December 21, 2006, on a farm in Missouri and came to my St. Louis, USA, home on February 3, 2007. The breeder gave him the name Valentine, and I kept that as his middle name since he came home shortly before Valentine's Day. He was six weeks old and weighed ten pounds; he is four months old now and weighs 55 pounds! He is a splashcoat, which means that he has more white on his coat than most other Saints. He has lots of freckles on his belly. He is extremely bright -- he learned how to sit by seven weeks of age, to walk on a leash by eight weeks, and was housebroken by ten weeks. He loves to play with sticks (branches). His only bad habit is digging. Of course we are still working on some of the finer points of training, but he is absolutely adorable, beautiful, and a joy to have. He truly is a Saint!

He is sooooo adorable. What a brave soul to keep him inside!! If you think 55 pounds is big you just wait!!!ooooooooooo He has that sad look that makes me want to hug him and squeeze him!!!

Reuben is gorgeous! Talk about some serious eye make-up!! You should get the books by the Monks of New Skete. They will show you how to teach Reuben not to dig. I have a Golden Retriever who is half the size Reuben will eventually be, and my bad boy has dug holes in the back yard I could bury volkswagons in. Dig or not, he certainly is a keeper. Enjoy his beautiful life and spirit. Love to you both.

To me, St Bernards are probably one of the best breeds of dogs. They're so big, but they're also so gentle Making them great with little kids. I remember when I had mine, all the children in my neighborhood would want to play with her. You've certainly got a "keeper". They may have some quirks, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

What a heartbreaker this boy is! Wow, what a beauty. Daddy'sgirl is absolutely correct about his eyes having such an intelligent expression. May you have a long and loving life ahead.

In the 70's I lived on a small farm we raised St. Bernards. We had 11 females and 2 males, I miss them. These are beautiful and wonderful dogs, they are so big and cuddly and will love you to no end. Please enjoy him I wish I could. He is just too adorable.

Apr 28, 2007 gerty4ta

What happened to the little fur ball in the first picture? Reuben is a beauty!

Apr 28, 2007 sams*mom

With that look and those muddy paws in the first pic, he might have a little devil in him also. ; D

He's a very handsome boy and he looks like a real sweetie. Blessings to you all!

Reuben is everything his mom said he is. I should know, it is my yard he uses for digging practice. I am his proud grandmother.

Oh pooh, there's no such thing as too big. He is an absolutely gorgeous boy.

Apr 28, 2007 hbird2

We have a 9 1/2 month old Goldendoodle named Albert. He also lives in Saint Louis and loves to run and play in Queeny Park. Have fun with Reuben. He is such a cutie!

Apr 28, 2007 Bobbie

Oh, my goodness, what a difference in his appearance from the first picture to the last one! What a beautiful boy and apparently very intelligent too! Good luck with him and may you have many, many years with him!

Apr 28, 2007 BTLabs

What a handsome, intelligent looking boy! I would say that the latter pictures show that he is doing just what he's supposed to be doing..growing! Once a cute puppy, always a cute puppy!

Apr 28, 2007 Lexie

"Reuban"
What a beautiful 'Saint Barn Yard ' Puppy

Apr 28, 2007 puppyluv

In the 5th picture he looks as if he has penciled-in eyebrows, giving him such a human look - I was a little taken aback! A delicious puppy, and Saints are just saints. Good luck with him!

Apr 28, 2007 spaghetti130

I LOVE YOUR DOG ITS AMAZINGG!

im very jealous of him.

waht a cutiee. =]

Apr 28, 2007 Lydia

Ohh!! He's so fluffy! Like a giant teddy bear!

Apr 28, 2007 libbythecute

He's so adoreable! I love the pic with him looking straight ahead. You can see the dirt on his cute little face. I just want to give him a giant hug.Valentine is an appropriate middle name because he just makes you fall in love with him instantly. He really looks healthy and happy, and those big eyes make me melt! Give him a hug and kiss for me.

Apr 28, 2007 TessiesMum

I want one to sit on my bed!!! He suits his name too.....

Apr 28, 2007 ezrinjaz

I love you, Ruben!!!!!!!!!!! I have a Saint myself, named Neelix, and only one word can describe this kind of dog... Wonderful!!! Neelix is a good mix of intelligent and hard headed. Since we have 2 Great Pyrenees, he wanted to be like them and potty training was completed in almost no time flat. His favorite spot in the house (aside from the kitchen) is the bathroom floor. He'll hang out there and sleep all day. Now, Neelix is 4 years old this month, and hands down our largest dog. I'm thinking 125 lb minimum. He thinks he's a lap puppy (Daddy loves this about him, so it is one bad habit he has), and he also loves to snuggle with us in bed at night and keep Momma's feet warm. Everyone who meets him just falls in love with him. I couldn't ask for a greater dog. And, Ruben, I know you will fill your parents with as much joy as Neelix has filled us with. Seeing you on here today just made my day!

Apr 28, 2007 vllybllstar

Reuben is adorable!
i like the "growing" stage, as there are more pictures, he gets bigger....
hope you have many years of happiness with Reuben Valentine!

Apr 29, 2007 rdimonte

Reuben is gorgeous. He is so fluffy looking, that I just want to squeeze him to death. He is one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen. I hope you enjoy every minute with him, & have him for a very long time. His pictures made me feel so good. Best of luck with him.

Apr 29, 2007 Suzette

Oh my land, what a fluffy sweetie. I've never seen these dogs in puppy form. He is really cute.

Apr 29, 2007 Patty

How adorable. It looks like he still has that "just born" facial structure. Even cuter!

Apr 30, 2007 tambore

"Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking, what a great world this would be, if all the pups that like to cavort, were half as gorgeous as thee." You get the picture............. move over Beethoven. At the risk of hearing it once again, you are adorable.

Apr 30, 2007 dottiejean28

Wow....what big boy! My shih tzu is a year old and weighs 8 pounds! You could probably eat her for an appetizer! Yikes! You are truly very handsome...unfortunatley though i would love a big dog, financially and space wise i could never achieve that goal until at least age 50 about 21 yrs from now...oh well i can save up for someone like you til then!

May 3, 2007 soshyviolet

What a beautiful pup! I love his fuzzy ears! He's a sweety pie

May 7, 2007 tina

I am in love!! My daughter has a St. Bernard mix but he looks alot like Reuben. I am looking for a breeder and would love to know where Reuben came from. I am over the top in love with St. Bernards and would love to have one of my own to take to our new mountain home. I can see the love that Reuben has in his eyes. Absolutely gorgeous! You are very lucky as am I to have Hercules but he is my grandson and I don't get to see him much. Can you direct me to Reubens breeders? I would be eternally grateful!

May 7, 2007 kmg314

Tina, contact me through my member number and I'll let you know where Reuben came from.
