He was not the runt, he's the second smallest of the litter...so far no health issues at all.
St. Bernard s are not prone to health issues much are they ? Second smallest ? that mean his finished weight will be 135 instead 140 ! I am just now considering a dog since my neighbors killed mine. I am considering a St. Bernard as a big dog option, and a french bull dog as a small dog option. I looked at some Pit Bulls at a few rescues, and may get another. Just haven't decided yet.
Lol..saints actually have quite a few health issues and a short lifespan, 8 years is generally about it. They are prone to heart and joint issues as well..and bloat, which can be fatal and usually is, eventually, if a dog has a tendency to it.
How did your neighbors kill your dog? Saints are super friendly ambassadors..they never met a stranger...and they aren't fighters; Klaus is a big goof around other dogs, who often freak out just because he's big, but he never reacts in an aggressive or scared way, he doesn't even really register threats from other dogs. His best friend is my son's pit bull, who has no male dog friends..except Klaus.
