  The Saint Bernard Club of America is a club that is rich in history, being one of the oldest breed clubs in the United States of America. We now  are entering into our third century! The Saint Bernard national club was formed on February 22, 1888 and has been reorganized from time-to-time (December 30, 1897 & March 1, 1932), but it has had a continuous history as a member club with the American Kennel Club (AKC) since 1898. Keep in mind, the AKC was founded only four years earlier in 1884. The Saint Bernard was one of the first breeds recognized in America by the AKC.

If you have any early history of the club, or knowledge of early national specialties (pre-1935), please contact me at: saintbernardnationalarchives@comcast.net. We would like to store as much of this early history and photos, etc. in the Archives as is possible for the future admirers of the breed.  Also, if you know of a national specialty photograph that is missing (click here for needed photos), or one of better quality, a color photograph, or an “official” national win photo picturing the judges and national trophies, please contact me and share them with the world! I would like to scan the photograph and return it, or you may send a copy to me in JPEG format at the e-mail address above. Thank You!
