Saint Bernard breed

Monasteries and hospices were built and run by the same monk brotherhood on both passes and are located few miles away from each other. The famous Pierre Chanoux and his consorts lived at the little St. Bernard pass. The most famous Saint Bernard dog named Rutor was raised at the little Saint hospice. (See article linked in the article). The great and little saint bernard pass are both used since prehistoric time and the little one was even more used the its Swiss counterpart until the arrival of Napoleon that built a major commercial route on the great St. Bernard pass. They could not have created the standard and raised the breed only at one of their only two monasteries and hospices, and monks were travelling back and forth between the two locations all the time. Each year celebrations are held at both passes commemorating the birth of the breed standard as it is detailed in one of the ref of the article. Please do not make any confusion between the origin of the standard that is attributed by the FCI to one country in order to hold and manage the breed standard and the history of the origin on a dog breed.--Gabriel HM (talk) 19:02, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
