FzyBr Saints • Falmouth, Massachusetts
Saint Bernard Puppies in Massachusetts
Saint Bernard Puppies Massachusetts: FzyBr Saints is a preservation Saint Bernard breeder on Cape Cod. Our puppies are raised in our home and thoughtfully matched with families who understand the responsibilities and rewards of living with a giant dog.
Every breeding begins with the dogs: their health, temperament, structure, pedigrees, and what they can contribute to the future of the Saint Bernard.
Saint Bernard Puppies Massachusetts: Current Availability
We do not currently have a litter planned.
Our next planned breeding is Remi, once she reaches 18 months of age. If you would like to hear about that litter, we would be glad to hear from you. The application below is the best way to start.
We welcome applications for future puppies. Approved applicants may also be considered when an older puppy, young adult, or retired Saint Bernard becomes available.
Completing an application begins a conversation.
Got a Puppy Question? Text the Drool Tool, Day or Night
Puppy questions don’t keep business hours, so we built a text line that doesn’t either. Text the Drool Tool at 44-CALL-MATT (442-255-6288) and get an answer right away, any hour, with the same answers Matt gives in person. Ask about the go-home packet, vaccines, the waitlist, health screening, visits or pickup in Falmouth, MA. No other kennel we know of answers this fast or this thoroughly.
Thoughtful Breeding, Individual Dogs
A breeding is not planned simply because two dogs are available. We consider the individual dogs, the families behind them, genetic diversity, and what we hope to preserve or improve in the next generation.
FzyBr Saints follows the guidelines and statement of policy of the Saint Bernard Club of America and is listed through its Breeder Referral Program. You can also learn about Matt, Carolyn, and our breeding program.
Family History
We consider soundness, longevity, and family history across generations. We are always glad to talk about the dogs behind a proposed litter.
Temperament
We value stable, affectionate Saint Bernards that can live confidently as members of a family. Understanding each puppy’s temperament is an important part of choosing the right home.
Structure and Movement
Balance, sound structure, and functional movement matter in a giant working breed. Our evaluations consider the whole dog rather than an isolated feature.
Breed Type
We work to retain the character, structure, and presence that make a Saint Bernard recognizable, without sacrificing soundness or temperament to exaggeration.

The Right Match
Placement depends on the individual dog and the home that best suits that dog.
How We Match Puppies with Families
Placement is first come, first served from available puppies, and every application is screened for the right fit. We consider each puppy’s temperament, confidence, structure, and development alongside the family’s experience, household, lifestyle, and goals.
Some puppies may be best suited as family companions. Others may show potential for conformation, therapy work, or performance activities. The right match takes priority over application order.
Raised at Home, Prepared for Family Life
A Thoughtful Foundation
Our puppies are raised in our home with age-appropriate handling, socialization, enrichment, grooming experience, and exposure to everyday household life.
We aim to help them develop confidence and prepare for the transition to their permanent homes.
Going Home
Puppies go home with feeding and care guidance from us.
Families also leave with an ongoing relationship with us.
Is a Saint Bernard Right for Your Home?
Saint Bernard puppies Massachusetts families bring home grow into large, powerful dogs. Plan for training, socialization, grooming, shedding, drool, transportation, food costs, veterinary expenses, and appropriate management during growth.
Space alone does not make a suitable home. Time, patience, realistic expectations, and a commitment to the dog throughout its life matter. We welcome questions before you decide whether the breed is right for you.
Our Responsibility Continues After Placement
We remain available to FzyBr Saints families throughout the life of their dog, including questions about development, feeding, training, grooming, behavior, and everyday life with a Saint Bernard.
Our responsibility also means we may decline or delay a placement when the timing, circumstances, or available dog are not the right match. Sometimes the responsible answer is to wait.
Older Puppies and Adult Saint Bernards
Occasionally, an older puppy, young adult, or retired Saint Bernard may become available to an approved home. These dogs are matched just as carefully as our puppies, with their individual needs guiding each placement.
If you would consider an adult dog, please indicate that on your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you currently have puppies available?
We do not currently have a litter on the ground. Our next planned breeding is Remi, once she reaches 18 months of age. You may apply for consideration for future puppies or indicate your interest in an older puppy or adult.
Where are you located, and do you place dogs outside Massachusetts?
We are in Falmouth on Cape Cod. We consider appropriate homes throughout New England and elsewhere in the United States. The home and the match matter more than geography.
Is there a waiting list?
Yes, there’s a waitlist, and the way onto it is our Puppy Application. Placement is first come, first served from available puppies, and every application is screened for the right fit. That means the newest applicant may well be the first to bring a puppy home. Fit is what moves you to the front of the line.
When can a puppy go home, and what comes with it?
Our puppies go home no earlier than eight weeks, microchipped, with food and a full puppy packet: a four-generation pedigree, vaccination and health records, care, feeding and training guidance, a bill of sale and AKC registration papers, the breed standard, and SBCA membership and Advisor Program info. Every dog here is AKC registered, and we follow the Saint Bernard Club of America’s breeder guidelines, so no FzyBr Saint should ever end up in rescue.
Do you place show prospects?
Show prospects go home on a contract, and only to a select few. For the right family, we offer full mentoring. Want to show your puppy? We’ll show you how. Want to learn to breed? We’ll teach you. It’s an invitation we don’t extend lightly.
Is there a contract?
The standard is a bill of sale. Show prospects go out on a contract, and other contracts are case by case.
What vaccinations will my puppy have?
Every puppy leaves with all the appropriate vaccinations for its age. Rabies is yours to schedule: Massachusetts doesn’t allow it before twelve weeks, our puppies have gone home by then, and the state requires it by six months. After that, follow your own vet’s lead, since needs vary by region. On the Cape, Lyme is a real concern, so we recommend the Lyme vaccine once your puppy is old enough.
Do you remove dewclaws?
Fronts stay. We remove rear dewclaws only on show prospects, where it’s called for. A torn dewclaw can mean a painful injury, infection, or lameness, so it’s a simple step to head that off.
When should I spay or neuter?
We recommend it for any dog that won’t be bred, but timing matters. Those hormones do real work in a growing Saint, and early spay or neuter can affect joints and development. We suggest waiting until the dog matures, ideally around 18 months, and talking through the pros and cons with your vet.
Do you take deposits?
As a rule, we don’t take deposits. Now and then we’ll look at one case by case.
What health testing do you do?
Our Saints come from multi-generation lines where we know every dog in the pedigree first hand. Both parents are screened genotypically and phenotypically, and each pairing is studied against the whole back line. Formal hip and elbow scores help when a dog’s history is unknown, but they can vary with how the X-ray is taken and read, so we lean on what we know firsthand.
Can I visit?
To protect the dogs’ health, visits are only for approved families, and kept limited. Visitors can bring cooties onto the property, so in practice your visit is the day you pick up your puppy.
Do you ship puppies?
Puppies are picked up here in Falmouth, MA. If you need other arrangements, we’ll talk it through case by case.
