DOG FAQ - How to choose healthy Saint Bernard puppy?

Is his place clean? Feces should be, more or less, solid, unless Saint Bernard has been treated against parasites recently. Healthy Saint Bernard puppies are usually fat, and if you catch them they will slip out of your hands easily with great flexibility. Starting by the head, look at his eyes. These should be clear and free of any substance than can damage his skin, specially in those parts of the eyes closer to the nose. The nose should be moist, and his ears clean. Give great attention to the skin, watch it carefully to detect some signs of fleas or lice. Ribs can be checked with your hands, but it's not so clear when you are carrying the dog in your arms.
