**Bella & CODY have BOTH received their first GREEN STARs (10 point Majors).

This is the first step towards their IRISH CHAMPION TITLES. Check out their results page on our Champdogs site for more info on this award **

We have owned & shown Saint Bernards for only a small amount of time, 7 years, & although we have learnt alot, we do not know all there is to know about the breed. There are many more experienced breeders/owners that would be glad to answer any questions that we cannot.

CONTRARY TO THE BREED NAME.... SAINTS THEY A'INT!!

We are not a big 'kennel', we do not breed very often, and we do not breed from, or show all of our dogs.

I do enjoy showing, and because I enjoyed it so much, I applied to the Kennel Club for my own affix in 2002 & 'LANEBERN' was born. I have enjoyed much success with Bella & Louis, both in the UK & Ireland. I am now campaigning our youngster, Cody, who in his short show career & at only 7 months old, has done very well with winning his class at most shows, winning a Puppy Group, 2 x PG3 & a stakes class. Codys debut at the Irish Munster Circuit in 2005 was very successful too.... He won 3 BEST PUPPY IN BREEDS IN A ROW & A RESERVE GREEN STAR! We are VERY PROUD of their wins, and list them whether they come 1st or last. I hope you enjoy looking at their pages.

We have been blessed with some wonderful puppies which were purchased from the Chandlimore & Pippanabbey Kennel and these lovely dogs are currently enjoying VERY successful show careers. I have also been joined in the ring with my son Jonathan, who also handles the dogs in Junior Handling classes with great success

We have now been accepted by the Kennel Club as an ACCREDITED BREEDER!! Please (copy & paste this link in your search bar) & view this website for a general explanation as to what this actually means... http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/registration/page1.htm

Our dogs live in our home and are our Pets & companions more than anything else. They are raised with all the usual noises such as, people visiting, telephones, hoovers, all modern appliances etc, which helps when it comes to settling puppies into their new homes. They are also brought up with Cats and taught that they are not 'toys' & must be respected!

Socialising & manners are also very important, (not just to the breed but to us too as a large unruly dog is not a pleasure but a pain!!) and again we encourage people to visit us & we also like to take puppies on various trips around different towns/markets from a young age, not to mention very important 'social' trips to the vets to allow the dogs to become well socialised 'Good citizens'.

I have trained in & Instructed obedience classes with our local training club. I have also attended an instructors workshop with a prestigious company associated with Obedience.
During this course we had substantial coverage on Socialising, Nutrition & training & it also involved 'hands on' experience with dogs of all shapes & sizes & with people that were having problems with their dogs.

To protect our Breed & our puppies, all registrations will be Endorsed. This means that there will be certain restrictions when it comes to any expectations you may have when thinking about breeding from your dog. We are very cautious when allowing Export of our dogs to other countries, & there may be certain circumstances or occassions that we will not allow Export, however, please contact us to discuss your individual requirements regarding Export out of the UK.

We cannot guarantee the 'show potential' of any puppy regardless of what Champions are in his/her parentage. The lovely 8 week old puppy oozing showmanship may not 'make the grade' when he/she is 5months old. Just because a puppy has Champion parents does not mean that he/she will become one too & always take care when choosing your puppy.
All puppies sold from us are sold as pets. Saint puppies change very quickly and what might seem a promising 8 week old, may never come to anything at all in the show ring, although we can all dream of breeding/owning a Champion one day!

Unfortunately, Saint Bernards are not without their health problems & potential owners should be aware of them. Hip Dysplasia, Ectropian and Entropian (Turning in & turning out of the eye lids) epilepsy, Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM - Heart Condition) and gastric torsion (bloat) are the more known, talked about conditions.

There are several Breed Clubs in the UK, that can all offer advice on the Breed. Some of these people have had great success in the ring & have substantial breed knowledge. You would be wise to checkout a show or two before purchasing a puppy of this breed, just to understand what is involved IF you are looking to show your puppy & also gain some knowledge as to just how big these cute puppies can get as adolescents & adults!

Please take GREAT care before making your decision to buy a Saint Bernard, the little cute puppy will grow at an amazing speed, eat alot more than the average size dog, as well as make twice the amount of mess! It's not fair on them or you if you suddenly find yourself with a dog thats too big for the house, your food budget & your life!

The details of the various Saint Bernard Clubs & Rescue Societies around the UK can be found on the main page under Clubs, or copy & paste the following link: http://www.champdogs.co.uk/guided/working_st-bernard_clubs.html

We would be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding problems you may be experiencing or general enquiries.

Good luck in your search!!
