FzyBr Saints • Falmouth, Cape Cod
Massachusetts Saint Bernard Breeder
Built for snow, raised on sand.
FzyBr Saints is the preservation breeding program of Matt Agnese and Carolyn Goodwin-Agnese in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Our dogs are family first.
We breed selectively for health, temperament, sound structure, and the character that makes a Saint Bernard a Saint Bernard. Every pairing is considered in the context of the individual dogs, their pedigrees, and the future of the breed.
Meet our dogs, learn about our approach, and explore whether a FzyBr Saint Bernard could be the right fit for your home.
Puppies and Adult Dogs
We do not currently have a litter planned.
We welcome applications from families interested in a future puppy. Occasionally, an older puppy, young adult, or retired Saint Bernard may also become available to an approved home.
Each placement is based on the individual dog and the home that best suits that dog. Applying begins a conversation.
Preservation Breeding at FzyBr Saints, a Massachusetts Saint Bernard Breeder
Our responsibility extends beyond producing a litter. We study pedigrees, learn from the dogs and breeders behind our program, and evaluate what each generation contributes. Health initiatives, historical research, education, and mentorship are part of that work.
Pedigrees and Family History
Family history, longevity, and the pedigrees behind each dog inform our breeding decisions. We are always glad to talk about the dogs behind a proposed litter.
Temperament and Family Life
We value stable, affectionate dogs that can live confidently as family companions. Our puppies are raised in our home with socialization, enrichment, and exposure to everyday household life.
Structure and Breed Type
Balance, sound movement, and correct breed type matter. We evaluate the whole dog, working to preserve the Saint Bernard’s distinctive character and structure without rewarding exaggeration.
Careful Matching and Lifelong Support
Matching dogs with appropriate homes is part of responsible breeding. We remain available to our puppy families throughout the life of their dog.

Living with a Saint Bernard
The Saint Bernard’s history is closely tied to the Great Saint Bernard Hospice and Pass in the Swiss Alps. Preserving the breed means understanding that heritage alongside the needs of the dogs living in our homes today.
Their affection, strength, and presence are part of their appeal. So are the practical realities: training, grooming, shedding, drool, food costs, veterinary care, transportation, and the physical size of an adult dog.
We encourage families to learn about the breed before committing. Our puppy and placement page explains how we raise puppies, review applications, and match dogs with families.
