Farmers in South Africa began using this breed of dog after initially developing them to hunt leopards and baboons. This gigantic dog is very powerful and at times is known to be somewhat aggressive, so socialization training at a young age is needed. ## **Saint Bernard** Saint Bernard dogs are large, powerful, and sturdy dogs. Male Saint Bernards typically weigh in between about 160 pounds while female Saint Bernards tend to weigh between about 130 pounds. Most Saint Bernards stand about thirty inches tall at full maturity. This breed was developed to help rescue Alpine mountaineers.
