I. History
The St. Bernard dog is named after the San Bernard Monastery of the Alps. Bernard dogs are short -haired varieties. In order to prevent close relatives from breeding, the species of Scottish dogs were added to the species of the Scottish dogs. As early as 1810, Britain imported some dogs from the Relief Institute to hybridize with their Mastev mastiff dog. At that time, the British called this dog to do "Secrd Dogs", about 1828. This dog was in Germany in Germany The name is "Alpen Dog". In 1833, the writer Daniel Wilson first named this dog St. Bernard, but it was not clear until 1965 that the name appeared. The name in 1980 was officially determined to be the name of this dog.
Second, role
In 980 AD, Santa Bernard is famous for guarding those passengers passing through the dangerous Alps. Unfortunately, the early chronicles could not be verified. By the 18th century, the priests of the monastery raised Santa Bernard as a guide in the dangerous mountain, looking for people who lost their way and wake up, and were known as a dog with Christ -like dedication. A St. Bernard, called "Black Mongolia", once rescued 40 people's lives and died of the greatest achievements in 1814.
Before 1830, all St. Bernard dogs were short -haired. At first, people who thought that the long -haired St. Bernard dog could better resist the cold of the relief house, but unfortunately, ice can be frozen on the long hair, and this dog is not suitable for rescue. After discovering this fact, the monks gave the long -haired St. Bernard as a gift to friends, leaving only the short -haired San Bernard.
Some people will find that St. Bernard dogs will hang a barrel on their neck as working dogs. Why is this? Because the San Bernard once used Bailan on his neck to inspire the courage to survive the climber besieged by the avalanche. The climbers' friends were killed in the avalanche, including his newlywed wife, and his legs were also broken, and he was going to hear the death in the snow. The two Saint Bernard found him, and they walked through the snow that people could not cross, inspiring him to continue to live. The young climber has a calories on her body because of the mellow Bailan Di wine, and has the courage to continue to live. Because the science and technology were underdeveloped at the time, rescuers could not cross the snow to rescue him. Therefore, the missionaries sent the two St. Bernard dogs to bring Bailan and sausages to him every day, until the snow was slowly melted, and the rescuers rescued him safely. The St. Bernard dog with a white orchid barrel on his neck is also a symbol of Switzerland. Although this may be just a wonderful legend, it cannot be wiped out to save people's achievements in the Alps.
