Celebrate Your Canine Companion with Saint Bernard Checks

By Alan Plastin


Do you love your Saint Bernard? Do you wish you could take him with you everywhere you go? He might be too big to pack around with you all the time, but now you can carry a reminder of him when you use Saint Bernard personal checks.

The Saint Bernard is a large breed of working dogs that hails from the Swiss Alps. Originally used for rescue missions, he is well known for his tendency to save the day in addition to his huge stature.

Speaking of his stature, large might be an understatement since he can weigh as much as 264 pounds. There's more to him than that, though. His eyes are known for being almost white, or as icy blue as the glacial skies of the area he originated from. Originally, Saint Bernards were used as hunting or farm dogs. They had the natural ability to be good herding dogs as well. They can be traced back as far back as 1707 when they were employed at a hospice by monks at the Great St. Bernard Pass. Barry, the most well-known dog at the Pass, saved as many as 100 lives and has a monument in his honor.

The name Saint Bernard, or St. Bernard, comes from the traveler's hospice where the monks allowed travelers to rest on their way over the dangerous St. Bernard Pass. The lodge itself, as well as the Pass, is named after Bernard of Menthon who was a monk that established the station.

As any owner of this lovable and sturdy breed knows, these are commanding guys who are faithful and affectionate. Also very outgoing if socialized from a young age, the biggest thing to worry about is their size, since their bark is worse than their bite.

You might know the Saint Bernard from his numerous media appearances. In most cartoons and television shows, he is depicted as wearing a barrel of brandy around his sturdy neck, ready to offer some poor soul some solace.

If you love your Saint Bernard and you want to carry a reminder of him with you, then the personal checks can be a fun and economical way to do so. There are a few different Saint Bernard checks to choose from and each one is cleverly detailed and striking. Plus, most of them have rotating images so that each check you write will differ from the last.

Matching accessories exist for some of the check series, too. Coordinating address labels, contact cards, and leather checkbook covers are functional and great to look at. They can definitely be worth the extra price.

You don't have to travel to your local bank to buy your personal checks nowadays either. When you purchase them online from a dependable website you can save as much as 50% off the price of your checks and you won't even have to leave home to do it. Your checks will be delivered in just a few days and you won't have to worry about carrying boring check designs again.
