I'm the breeder behind Fizzy Saints located in Lower Burrell, PA. Over the years we’ve learned valuable methods for socializing our puppies. Each litter has a clean and safe environment to learn and grow so they have the best chance of becoming amazing family members!
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
My family and I have owned Saint Bernard's' and absolutely love the breed. Saints are the most gentle, smart, and loving breed. I decided to take that love for the breed and share them with you. When I purchased Izzy from the breeder, we instantly became friends over our shared love and devotion to Saints. They are such loving and caring breeders that I decided to breed too! We love Saints and we want you to love them too!
What makes your program special?
I take great pride in my dogs. They are well cared for and loved. They have been bred with quality in mind and I intend to carry that quality forward into my litters. We test for genetic health as well as test for the over all health for the breed. I have been attending the Good Dog Webinars for optimal dog health. I intend to continue taking courses thru Good Dog to further my knowledge of dog breeding.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
