Somerset Saints
Meet the breeder
I'm Cindy V., the breeder behind Somerset Saints located in Gibsonia, PA. We strive to produce healthy dogs with a focus on conformation and temperament. Our dogs are bred for health and overall soundness. We have been involved with the breed for 30 years. We aim to provide families with loving healthy pets. Connecting our puppy families with their new Saint Bernard is so rewarding!
Q. & A. with Cindy
Why did you start breeding?
After owning 3 Saints, we were offered a co-ownership on a show quality female by a large show kennel in Oregon. We co-bred 3 litters together and fell in love with the process of breeding.What makes your program special?
We prioritize health testing on all of our parents and have a detailed selection process for choosing a sire for our dams. Welcoming a Saint Bernard puppy into your lives, home, and heart is a huge undertaking and blessing. We strive to find the right match for every puppy and his/her new family!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.

Price
"Show-potential puppies cost more than companion puppies. Puppies with obvious faults can be sold for less (cryptorchid) because this would require surgery to correct."

Parent health testing
Good level
Somerset 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.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
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).
