I'm Lucretia S., the breeder behind Fletchers Saints located in New Philadelphia, OH. Registered Saint Bernard's bred out of love. We breed for health, temperament structure, intelligence, and demeanor. All of our breeding Saints have been Embark DNA tested for comprehensive health conditions, diseases, and illness.

Q. & A. with Lucretia
Why did you start breeding?
We love and adore the breed and wanted to share the experience with others. We knew there had to be excellent breeders with excellent Saint Bernard's. Searching for such breeder and Saint proved to be a challenge at best. So, we decided to get into breeding ourselves. We do have very particular taste and expect our Forever Families to do as well. Fletchers Saints does things a little different!
What makes your program special?
We offer top notch, healthy, intelligent gentle giants. All of our Saints have been Embark DNA tested and O.F.A certified. Our puppies come a full comprehensive certified Veterinarian health exam(s), dew claws removed, vaccinated, micro chipped, dewormed, professionally groomed, collar and lead trained prior to heading to their new homes. Our puppies are socialize from the first minute!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown and white, brindle and white, and mahogany and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Fletchers Saints reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Saint Bernards.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Polyneuropathy 1, Leonberger and Saint Bernard Type, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Full Embark Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
