Moderate

Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.

Trainability

Moderate

The Rottweiler rates moderate and the Saint Bernard moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Rottweiler is usually described as loyal, loving, confident guardian. The Saint Bernard as playful, charming, inquisitive. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
