Mini St. Bernard

The Mini St Bernard is not a purebred dog; it is a hybrid, and unlike most other hybrids, there are more than 2 breeds used in creating the dog. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all known breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in any of the breeds. The Mini St. Bernard actually has no Saint Bernard in it, however as a puppy, they are meant to look just like a Saint Bernard and they do not grow as large as the Saint Bernard. They are said to stay small; toy dog size. It was created by a breeder named Wallace Havens. The exact mix of breeds in this type of dog has not been disclosed, however some of the breeds that may have been used to create this Mini St. Bernard were the Shih-Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Beagle, Basset Hound, and the Pekingese. The percentage of the breeds that are in the mix is unknown and whether or not there were any other breeds used to create this type of dog is unknown. The Mini St. Bernard is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club.

Izzy, the Mini St. Bernard at 1 year old, weighing 23 pounds. "I submitted Izzy’s DNA to MetaMorphix, Inc. to be tested. They only have about 40 dogs in the DNA database so they weren’t able to determine her primary heritage but they did figure out her secondary DNA was Beagle and she also had DNA (although a small amount) of a St. Bernard (maybe that’s where the name came from) believe it or not. Also interested is Bassett Hound and Shih-Tzu were in the DNA pool and no DNA from those two dogs were part of Izzy’s DNA. The other two dog types listed on your site were not DNA in the database that they tested against."

Izzy, the Mini St. Bernard at 9 months old. "Izzy is close to full grown and weighs about 20 lbs in this picture. She does shed and although she has a wired hair look to her, she has a soft, not rough coat. She’s 15” from the ground to the top of her shoulder. She’s seems much longer then taller. She also has a tail that curls into a circle… it’s like she’s prancing around all the time. Izzy has a great temperament. She loves people and other dogs and is very loving and gentle and even shares her toys and food with out getting upset or possessive. Her absolute favorite place to hang out is the dog park. Not only does she get to play with her buddies but she loves to just run and burn off steam…and boy is she fast! Izzy is also able to chill out when I am working (I work from home) and she lays most of the time under my desk, right at my feet. She’s very smart but also stubborn. She smart enough to learn things quickly but getting her to do it if she’s not in the mood can be a challenge. She seldom barks (unless she hears someone outside the door) but she does howl when sirens go off or when she’s put in her cage because I’m leaving the house (a bit of separation anxiety). I’ve had several types of dogs in my life but never one that’s as much fun, loving, gentle and always entertaining. She’s a great addition to our family!" - Bred by Wallace Have
