One of 16 puppies, now kept at their winter home at Martigny.

The Rev. Frédéric Gaillard is one of four monks left at the St. Bernard's

I have a Saint. His name is Spike. He is the best dog in the world IMHO, and definitely the best dog I've ever owned.

These are magnificent if the breeding was good. Best temperament in the canine world. And adorable, albeit huge, puppies. Thanks for posting this.
