It is probable that, in common with other giant breed dogs, Saint Bernard originates from ancient Tibet, where Tibetan Mastiffs guarded the monasteries. These dogs were acquired by other races and used as hunting and war dogs.   Alexander the Great probably introduced giant dogs to Europe. When Pyrrhus, heir of Alexander and King of Epirus, introduced the dogs to Italy, subsequently, the Romans called the dogs Molossus, after the town of Molossis in Epirus.     Saint Bernard is believed to be descended from the heavier of the Molossus types. Since the first century AD, they developed relatively purely in the isolated Swiss Valais region.   It is known that they were used for mountain rescue work at least since the 1700s by the monks of the Hospice Of the Great St Bernard; this Hospice was founded on the instruction of Archdeacon Bernard de Menthon to provide shelter and protection for travelers.   Characteristics Of Saint Bernard Dog
