Did St. Bernards really carry brandy barrels?

Real St. Bernard rescue dogs at the Great St. Bernard Hospice never carried barrels — though they absolutely did save lives in the Alps.

Are St. Bernards good family dogs?
St. Bernards are excellent family dogs — patient, gentle, and deeply devoted to children. They're calm, rarely aggressive, and have a natural nurturing instinct. Their only drawbacks are significant drooling, heavy shedding, and the need for space due to their enormous size.
What are funny St. Bernard names?
Funny St. Bernard names play on their massive size and legendary drool: Tiny, Petite, and Minnie for ironic size humor; Drool, Slobber, and Puddles for their drooling; Beethoven (the classic movie reference); and Yeti, Sasquatch, and Mammoth for their enormous stature.
Do St. Bernards drool a lot?
Yes — St. Bernards are among the heaviest droolers of all dog breeds due to their deep jowls and loose lips. They drool especially after eating, drinking, exercising, or when excited. Most owners keep multiple towels strategically placed. It's a charming (if messy) part of owning the breed.
