Baltic du Grand St. Bernard gave birth to 9 puppies.
They have soft fur and were born on January 19. Baltic du Grand St. Bernard, daughter of world champion V'Barry du Grand St. Bernard, has given birth to 9 puppies: 5 males and 4 females. This is her second litter, this time sired by Eda Iwan Zarewitsch od Hodousické Louky, a long-haired male. The first names of these adorable fur balls will begin with the letter "S", but we won't know for another month whether their coat is short or long. The puppies will be at Barryland for 4 weeks in early March, but can already be seen online.

Le biker et le Saint-Bernard
Suite à un tragique coup du destin, Marcel Kürsteiner, 65 ans, a dû subir une rééducation longue et difficile au Centre suisse des paraplégiques (CSP) de Nottwil. La chienne Saint-Bernard Xenia, qui effectue des interventions pour « Barry social » a joué un rôle important durant cette période. Originaire de Zurich, Marcel Kürsteiner vit depuis de nombreuses années à Vétroz, dans son canton de coeur, le Valais. C’est chez lui qu’il a revu la chienne qui l’a aidé à trouver la motivation pour son long retour à la vie quotidienne.

Barry fait aussi ses preuves dans le domaine social
Il y a quelques décennies, les Saint-Bernard confi aient leurs missions de sauveteurs lors d’avalanches à d’autres chiens de plus petites races. Ils ont cependant trouvé dans le domaine du travail social une nouvelle fonction au service des personnes. Grâce à nos généreux donateurs, ces interventions de la Fondation Barry se développent progressivement depuis 2007.
