Breeding Philosophy
Our commitment to ethical, responsible breeding practices ensures every puppy we raise is healthy, well-socialized, and ready to be a loving family companion.
Raising Gentle Giants the Right Way
At Fury Saint Bernards, breeding isn't just about producing puppies - it's about preserving and improving a breed we love. Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to the health, temperament, and wellbeing of our dogs.
We believe that responsible breeding requires patience, knowledge, and an unwavering dedication to doing what's right for the dogs, even when it's not the easiest path. This philosophy has guided us for over 14 years.
Our puppies aren't just products - they're family members we've nurtured from birth. When they go to their new homes, they carry with them the foundation we've built: excellent health, stable temperaments, and early socialization that sets them up for success.
Our Breeding Principles
These core principles guide every breeding decision we make at Fury Saint Bernards.
Health-First Breeding
Our breeding dogs undergo comprehensive health testing including hip and elbow evaluations, cardiac screenings, and genetic testing to ensure we produce the healthiest puppies possible.
Temperament Priority
We carefully select breeding pairs based on temperament, prioritizing the gentle, patient, and loving nature that Saint Bernards are known for. Our goal is to produce puppies with stable, friendly personalities.
Home-Raised Environment
All our puppies are raised in our home, not in kennels. They're exposed to everyday household sounds, children, other pets, and various experiences that help them develop into well-adjusted adults.
Early Socialization
From the moment they're born, our puppies receive daily handling and socialization. We introduce them to new experiences, sounds, and people to build their confidence and adaptability.
Ethical Standards
We follow strict ethical breeding practices. Our dogs are bred responsibly with adequate rest between litters, and we never prioritize profit over the wellbeing of our dogs.
Breed Standard Excellence
While health and temperament are our priorities, we also strive to produce puppies that meet the Saint Bernard breed standard in structure, coat, and overall appearance.
From Birth to Your Home
A look at how we raise our puppies during their critical first weeks of life.
Weeks 0-2: Neonatal Care
Puppies receive round-the-clock monitoring. We begin Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) exercises to help develop their nervous systems and build stress tolerance.
Weeks 3-4: Sensory Development
As their eyes and ears open, we introduce various sounds, textures, and gentle handling. Puppies begin interacting with their littermates and learning early social cues.
Weeks 5-6: Socialization
Puppies are introduced to children, other pets, and household activities. They begin exploring new environments and building confidence through positive experiences.
Weeks 7-8+: Ready for Their New Homes
Puppies receive their first vaccinations, veterinary exam, and microchip. They're ready to transition to their forever families with a solid foundation for success.
