Even if your saint is simply going to be the family pet, it makes good sense to start with a good quality puppy that will conform to the requirements of the international breed standard.

We have spent many years ensuring that we breed healthy dogs with sound temperments and solid structure. Raising the puppy to 8 weeks is as important as good breeding to achieve a self confident socialised and happy puppy.

Please beware of other so-called "breeders" who claim to be breeding YOUNGSTEAD puppies. YOUNGSTEAD is a registered affix with the Kennel Union of Southern Africa. No other person is authorized to use the YOUNGSTEAD name under any circumstances. All genuine YOUNGSTEAD saint bernards will have a registered name beginning with "YOUNGSTEAD", and this name will be printed on the registration certificate supplied by KUSA.

We also have a breeding program for saint owners interested in the finer points of showing and breeding saint bernard dogs.
