I know nothing about Saint genetics.. but apparently both parents are purebred yet the puppies are totally mismarked.. some even black.  ??? I think they are mixed.. the owners say otherwise.

What do you think??


Forgot to add that I found these through my local classifieds.

As soon as I saw St. Bernard puppies as the title I had to look.. lol But no they are not being sold as registered.

So the color of them is possible. Although it's a major fault. They do look Saintish to me in the face after comparing young pics of Bubba but the mask the lighter ones have does look Mastiff.

I say if they are being sold as purebred, somebody jumped the fence when they weren't looking  ;)

I was thinking the same thing.  The mom was gettin some extra lovin' on the down low, w/o dad or owners knowing. 

Or they knew, but since they have both parent's on site (I'm guessing) they are hoping to fool people.

I emailed them back and asked for pics of both parents... Although your right.. If someone jumped the fence pics of the parents aren't going to help much.

I also did a search on English Mastiff puppies.. the tan pups look pretty close to a EM to me.. head and ear shape.. plus that mask.

The exact ad says "6 Purebred St.Bernard pups, not alot of markings"

In my email I also mentioned that they look like Saint/Mastiff crosses. Let's see what reply I get...

Last week, our neighbor after meeting Bava for the 1st time (6mo. Newf) told us he used to have a black saint bernard that was about the same size as Bava.  We just didn't even comment.

I would say that they are not purebred. Some people will do anything for a buck.

I'm still waiting on their email back.. funny they got back to me so quickly before.  :-\

That ad has been on there almost 2 weeks, I didn't even notice the date. And not one pup has been sold. So it looks like they are not fooling anyone.
