Commemorate Your Beloved Furry Friend with Saint Bernard Checks

By Alan Plastin


Is your Saint Bernard your favorite canine companion? Do you feel guilty when you have to leave him behind when you leave the house? His large size probably prohibits you from taking him everywhere you go, but now you can have a constant reminder of him when you commemorate your beloved furry friend with Saint Bernard personal checks.

A large breed of dog, the Saint Bernard is a working dog that hails from the Swiss Alps. Initially used for rescue missions, he is renowned for his ability to save the day as well as his huge build.

A big dog, he can weigh as much as 264 pounds. Sometimes, his eyes can be almost white, or as icy blue as the glacial skies of the region he comes from. In the beginning, Saint Bernards were used as hunting dogs, or farm dogs. They were also good watch dogs and could herd cattle or sheep. Early history points to the Saint Bernard as far back as 1707 when they were used at a hospice by monks at the Great St. Bernard Pass. In fact Barry, the most famous dog at the Pass, supposedly saved as many as 100 lives. There is even a monument dedicated to him.

His name comes from the traveler's hospice where the monks permitted travelers to rest on their way over the hazardous St. Bernard Pass. The lodge and the Pass are named after Bernard of Menthon who was a monk that originated the station.

As any Saint Bernard owner knows, these are powerful guys who are loyal and affectionate. They are also very friendly if they're socialized from a young age. The biggest thing to worry about is their size, as 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're crazy about your Saint Bernard and wish to carry a memento of him, then the personal bank checks can be an entertaining and inexpensive way to do so. There are several different Saint Bernard check designs to select from and every one is ingeniously detailed and remarkable in design. In addition, the majority of them contain rotating images so every check you write will differ from the previous one.

Corresponding accessories are obtainable for many of the check series, too. The address labels, contact cards, and matching leather checkbook covers are useful and fun, too.

You no longer have to travel to your local bank to purchase your personal checks, either. When you order them online from a reputable website you can save as much as 50% off the cost of your checks and you never even have to leave home to do so. Your checks will be delivered in the mail in a matter of days and you'll never have to worry about carrying uninspiring designs again.
