Deciding whether to buy or adopt a St. Bernard is less about the dog and more about your wallet and conscience. Buying a St. Bernard puppy from a reputable breeder can set you back anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 AUD, with the bonus of a pedigree and health guarantees—if you trust the breeder, that is. Adoption, on the other paw, might cost you a modest fee around $300 to $600 AUD and will give a deserving dog a second chance, but expect less predictability in age, training, and health.
St. Bernards are massive, slobbery, and require plenty of space and grooming, so whether you buy or adopt, be prepared for a commitment bigger than your average Chihuahua.
