The St. Bernard Dog is a very large breed of dog, a working dog from the Swiss Alps, originally bred for rescue. The breed has become famous through tales of alpine rescues, as well as for its enormous size.The St. Bernard is a very large dog with a large and massive head. A full-grown male can weigh between 160 and 240 lb (73110 kg) or more and the approximate height at the withers is 27½ inches to 35½ inches (70 to 90 cm).The ancestors of the St. Bernard share a history with the Sennenhunds, also called Swiss Mountain Dogs or Swiss Cattle Dogs, the large farm dogs of the farmers and dairymen of the Swiss Alps, which were livestock guardians, herding dogs, and draft dogs as well as hunting dogs, search and rescue dogs and watchdogs. These dogs are thought to be descendants of molosser type dogs brought into the Alps by the ancient Romans, and the St. Bernard is recognized internationally today as one of the Molossoid breeds.The earliest written records of the St. Bernard breed are from monks at the hospice at the Great St. Bernard Pass in 1707, with paintings and drawings of the dog dating even earlier.The most famous St. Bernard to save people at the pass was Barry (sometimes spelled Berry), who reportedly saved somewhere between 40 and 100 lives. There is a monument to Barry in the Cimetiere des Chiens, and his body was preserved in the Natural History Museum in Berne.The classic Saint Bernard looked very different from the St. Bernard of today, because avalanches killed off many of the dogs used for breeding between 1816 and 1818. Severe weather during this period led to an increased number of avalanches that killed many St. Bernards while performing rescue work. In an attempt to preserve the breed, the remaining St. Bernards were crossed with Newfoundlands in the 1850s, and so lost much of their use as rescue dogs in the snowy climate of the alps because the long fur they inherited would freeze and weigh them down.The Swiss St. Bernard Club was founded in Basle on March 15th 1884. The St. Bernard was the very first breed entered into the Swiss Stud Book in 1884, and the breed standard was finally approved in 1887. "Since that time the St. Bernard has been a Swiss national dog. São-bernardo é uma raça de cães natural dos Alpes. Foi originalmente cruzado para ser um cão de trabalho e de resgate. São conhecidos pela sua lealdade e vigilância, sendo tolerante com crianças e animais. Por causa dessas características, se tornou um cão de família. Também podem ser bons cães de guarda pois seu tamanho pode intimidar estranhos, ainda que seu temperamento é dócil.Um macho totalmente crescido pesa entre 68 à 90 kg, mas alguns exemplares passam e muito dos 100 kg. Existem duas variedades de São-bernardo: a variedade de pêlo curto e a de pêlo comprido. As duas variedades são de grande dimensão; o corpo é possante, vigoroso, musculoso e harmónico; a cabeça é imponente e a expressão facial em estado de alerta.Os ancestrais diretos do Cão de São Bernardo foram os grandes cães das quintas, muito difundidos entre os lavradores da região. Após algumas gerações, através de uma criação sistemática no sentido da procura de um tipo ideal, criou-se a raça actual. Em 1847, Henrick Schumaker de Holligen, perto de Berna, foi o primeiro a estabelecer os documentos genealógicos para os seus cães. O livro de origens Suíço, foi criado em Fevereiro de 1884. O primeiro cão a ser inscrito neste Registo Nacional foi o Cão de São Bernardo com o nome de "Léon"; as 28 inscrições seguintes dizem igualmente respeito a Cães de São Bernardo. O Clube Suíço do Cão de São Bernardo foi fundado em Basileia em 15 de Março de 1884
