Saint Bernard Puppy | Shekhala

Is a Saint Bernard Puppy a good fit for Shekhala?

Look past the breed guide for a moment. Shekhala is hot semi-desert, summers are long and intense, so heat management is the single biggest priority, and homes tend to have their own plot. Put those together and a medium-sized breed is comfortable in the space a town home usually offers. That combination, not the breed standard, is what owners here actually live with. A light summer trim (for double-coated breeds, never shave to the skin) helps comfort.
