Welcome to the Saint Bernard Club of America....
Welcome to the website of the Saint Bernard Club of America! The Saint Bernard Club of America is one of the oldest breed clubs in the U.S., first organized in 1888 only four years after the formation of the American Kennel Club.
We hope that you find our site useful in providing educational materials that
are designed to promote responsible and intelligent breeding of our giant breed. Whether our Saints are family companions or active in a myriad of activities such as conformation, obedience, weight pulls, drafting, or therapy,
all of us are ambassadors of the breed we hold dear.
Responsible stewardship of the Saint Bernard is an obligation that should not
be taken lightly. If you are contemplating Saints as a breed for you or your family, we strongly encourage you to make use of our extensive Advising Program designed to offer advice and counsel in a non-threatening manner.
A Saint is not a breed for all individuals and situations! Time spent with Advisors can direct some of you to breeds more suitable for your environment thereby reducing the number of Saints that often find their way into Rescue programs because of inadequate preparation and planning. For those interested in showing, Advisors can again reduce the number of mistakes that novices frequently make.
A quarterly publication is produced, with articles about Saint Bernards, local, information, and photos and pedigrees of new titleholders (Champions, Performance and Obedience). It is a great way to get started learning about the breed and the Saint Bernard World. Information on how to subscribe and how to join the SBCA can be found by going to the Membership link.
We direct your attention to the Illustrated Commentary, acclaimed by many judges as one of the very best illustrated standards produced by some 150 U.S. breeds. Study the Illustrated Commentary prior to purchasing any puppy; talk to exhibitors and make use of the Advisors that we offer.
This site, as with any other web site, is always under development. Check back often for new additions. Please send any comments or suggestions as well as any errors you encounter to Robert Carter, our webmaster.

NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SAINT BERNARD CLUB OF AMERICA, AND SUBSCRIBERS TO THE SAINT FANCIER MAGAZINE
It has been brought to our attention that a large commercial pet outlet on the internet is soliciting via mass emailing to buy purebred Saint Bernard puppies.
If you receive such a solicitation, we urge you to not sell any Saint Bernards to them or their agents, or deal with this organization in any way.
BE ADVISED IT WILL BE A SERIOUS VIOLATION OF OUR GUIDELINES AND STATEMENT OF POLICY, SPECIFICALLY SECTION 3 -
“No member shall buy or sell Saint Bernards through brokers, agents or commercial pet outlets, nor buy or sell in litter lots, nor sell to persons whose activities tend to degrade the breed.”
Thank you for your cooperation, and feel free to pass this notice along to any other Saint Bernard breeder.
