Apparently a Saint Bernard Labrador Mix is a Big Dog

Did you know that a Saint Bernard - Labrador mix is a big dog?

That seems to be one of the only things people can say when they find out what kind of dog Roxie is. Well, that and also that she is cute. ;) It’s sort of funny now that we hear it so often. We’ve made a bit of a joke out of it now. Someday I’ll have to try to play it up a bit and tell the people they’re crazy. There’s no way our 3.5 month old dog is going to get any bigger! She’s full grown! hehe.

Anyhoo, Roxie is now easily over 35lbs. She’s starting to respond to voice commands (with some help from a pocketful of kibble) and is doing beter when we go for walks. She’s almost to the point where we’ll need the head collar as she’s just recently started pulling. Up until now it’s been a struggle just to get her to walk more than 5 feet at a time.

Lots more fun to come!

  1. i got a st.bernard and a lab mixed he is 5 weeks old!!!!!!:)) his name is Cody

  2. Hello all!! Just thought I would check back in with everyone. All the pups are gone, except the one we are keeping.

    My husband and I decided that the response to wanting the puppies was so huge that we are going to breed the puppy we kept next year. She is mostly white with brown over the eyes and ears and her tail and hips. We are going to breed her with a solid white Lab. Believe it or not, we already have a waiting list for 12 puppies.

    If anyone else is looking for a Labranard, I have heard there is a kennel in Texas that raises them - they specifically try to breed for the white labs and white labranard with masks only. I have not been able to find the name, but as soon as I do, I will let you guys know.

    You guys take care and THANKS so much!!

  3. [...] Lynn posted a comment a few months ago on my Apparently a Saint Bernard Labrador Mix is a Big Dog post about her labranard having serious diarrhea. I’m not sure if this is a common issue for Labranards but I do know that our Roxie also had bouts of vomiting and diarrhea. Well, that was until I changed her food. [...]

  4. I have an approximately 12 year old Chocolate Lab/St. Bernard mix (Babe) whom I am having the misfortune of having to put down today. We rescued her from the Humane Society just over 6 years ago, so we are not sure her exact age. She has been the most wonderful dog. Her temperment has always been perfect. She is a big dog, with her max weight around 110 lbs, however she is no where near that now. She has been great with our pure bred chocolate lab, as well as other dogs. Our lab is actually a larger dog, but she became the dominate one as soon as we brought her home. She has been great with our 4 year old from the time he was born. From what I have read above this mix results in a well natured animal. I cannot say enough about her personality. We never had any problems with her mis-behaving. Again, we did not get her as a pup, but from the day we got her she always resonded to voice commands (until she lost her hearing about a year ago). Anyone who is not caught up in having to have a pure bred dog would be lucky to have a dog of this mix.

  5. I have a St. Bernard Lab mix named Dug. He is just over 2 years old and weighs about 160 lbs. Dug is very good natured and loves to play. Despite his size, he will try to climb in my lap. He loves to snuggle on the floor (he’s not allowed on the furniture). Dug has free range of the house all the time. He no longer requires being put in his kennel when no one is home. We don’t have to worry about someone breaking in because of him, he is a great deterrent with his big mean bark and massive size. Dug has been the best dog I have ever owned.
