In Delhi NCR
₹45,000 to ₹1,10,000
Delhi NCR is a metro. Across the metro cities our sources name, a Saint Bernard runs ₹45,000 to ₹1,10,000. That is the general market across seller types, not the figure for one seller.
Inside Scroller gives Mumbai ₹60,000 to ₹1,10,000 at the top and Hyderabad and Pune ₹45,000 to ₹85,000 at the bottom. It also prices the hill stations separately and lower, at ₹30,000 to ₹70,000 for Shimla, Dehradun and Mussoorie.

Cooling is not in the total. For this breed our sources price it at ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 a month in the hot season, and it depends on your house rather than your dog.
Indian climate
Struggles in Indian heat
Inside Scroller carries cooling and climate management as a standing monthly line of ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 for this breed, and prices Saint Bernards in the hill stations well below the metros, which tells you where the breed is easier to keep.
The Saint Bernard was not on the list in the 2024 central advisory. The list did include an open-ended "Mastiffs" entry, but the Saint Bernard is not usually counted among them.

The price
Saint Bernard price by seller type
Who you buy from moves this price more than anything else does. Each row is the range our Indian sources state for that kind of seller, with the sources named in the notes column.
| Where from | Price in ₹ | What the sources say |
|---|---|---|
| Unregistered home breeder | ₹25,000 to ₹45,000 | Inside Scroller gives ₹25,000 to ₹45,000 for a basic or pet-quality puppy from a local breeder with limited documentation. The Supertails price list gives ₹25,000 to ₹1,00,000 for the breed without splitting by seller. |
| KCI-registered breeder | ₹55,000 to ₹90,000 | Inside Scroller gives ₹60,000 to ₹90,000 for a KCI-registered puppy with certified pedigree. Mr n Mrs Pet states ₹55,000 to ₹1,50,000 and up and Aruani Pet Stop ₹45,000 to ₹1,20,000. |
| Show quality | ₹80,000 to ₹1,20,000 and up | A conformation prospect from a proven line. |
| Imported line | ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,50,000 and up | Swiss or European champion bloodlines. |
| Pet shop | Not priced by breed | No source we found prices a pet-shop puppy breed by breed. One Indian source puts a breed puppy from a pet shop at ₹15,000 to ₹50,000 across all breeds. |
| Shelter or indie rescue | ₹0 to ₹2,000 | Most shelters and indie rescues charge nothing, or a nominal ₹500 to ₹2,000 that often covers the first vaccination and the sterilisation. |
Every figure read on 14 October 2026. Where two sources disagree, the range spans both and the note says which said what.

Variation
What changes a Saint Bernard's price
Coat length splits this market. Inside Scroller prices the short-coat variant at ₹30,000 to ₹80,000 and the long-coat at ₹35,000 to ₹1,00,000, noting the long coat is more popular visually and needs more grooming. In India that premium buys the harder dog to keep cool.
Papers add roughly ₹25,000 to ₹40,000 on Inside Scroller’s own figure for KCI registration.
Geography shows up unusually clearly here. The hill stations are the cheapest market in the country for this breed on Inside Scroller, at ₹30,000 to ₹70,000, which is the market pricing in the fact that an alpine dog is easier to keep at altitude.
Imported Swiss and European bloodlines run ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,50,000 and up.
What does not change it
No source we read prices a Saint Bernard by age, so the calculator on this page has no age input. A puppy is priced as a puppy and an older dog is usually a rescue rather than a sale. No source states a price difference between the sexes in this breed either, so the calculator does not ask.

Running cost
What a Saint Bernard costs to keep
The calculator at the top of this page adds these up for you. The puppy price is not in the total: this is what the first year of keeping the dog costs on top of buying it.
| Line | Figure | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Food | ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 a month | Inside Scroller works this from 6 to 10 cups of premium giant-breed kibble a day, about 7 to 12 kg a month. It is the largest food line of any breed on these pages. |
| Grooming | ₹1,000 to ₹2,000 a month | Inside Scroller prices this monthly rather than per session, and includes drool management in it alongside the heavy coat. |
| Puppy vaccinations | ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 | The full first-year course. |
| Starter accessories | ₹3,000 to ₹13,000 | Bed, crate, bowls, collar, leash and toys, once. |
| Cooling | ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 a month | Not in the calculator total, because it depends on your house rather than your dog. |
Food and grooming are this breed's own sourced figures. The other lines are the same for any dog and are sourced on the price calculator page.

Not in the figure
- Spaying or neutering: about ₹1,500 to ₹5,000 at a shelter or a subsidised clinic, and ₹6,000 to ₹25,000 privately, more for a big dog.
- Training classes: about ₹5,000 to ₹30,000 for a first course, and far more for a guarding breed.
- Air conditioning: a real cost for a thick-coated breed in the plains, which our sources price per breed rather than generally.
- Anything that goes wrong: one night in intensive care runs ₹12,000 to ₹25,000 and a cruciate repair ₹1.2 to ₹1.8 lakh.

Estimated from the adult weight range above and the growth curve for the giant size class. The band runs from the low end of the adult range to the high end, so your own dog sits somewhere inside it. These are estimates, not measurements of this breed.

The same growth engine drives our puppy weight calculator, which works in pounds. For a dog in the giant size class, weekly weight gain drops to almost nothing by about 13 months. Height finishes earlier than weight: this breed stands 66 cm to 76 cm at the shoulder when grown.
Indian climate
Struggles in Indian heat
Inside Scroller carries cooling and climate management as a standing monthly line of ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 for this breed, and prices Saint Bernards in the hill stations well below the metros, which tells you where the breed is easier to keep.
A Saint Bernard was bred to work in snow at altitude. Everything about it, the mass, the double coat, the loose skin, is designed to hold heat in. Inside Scroller treats cooling as a monthly cost line of ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 rather than an occasional expense.
The food bill is the other giant-breed reality: ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 a month, from 6 to 10 cups of giant-breed kibble a day.
Drool management is part of grooming in this breed, and Inside Scroller prices the two together at ₹1,000 to ₹2,000 a month.
Life expectancy is 8 to 10 years on the AKC standard, the shortest of any breed on these pages. That is worth knowing before you buy a puppy for a child.
Legal
Legal status
The Saint Bernard was not on the list in the 2024 central advisory. The list did include an open-ended "Mastiffs" entry, but the Saint Bernard is not usually counted among them.
For what the 2024 advisory was and what the courts did with it, see the dog price page. Checked . Not legal advice.
Buying
How to buy a Saint Bernard responsibly
Think hard about where you live. The market itself prices a Saint Bernard lower in Shimla and Dehradun than in Mumbai, and the reason is the dog’s welfare rather than the buyers’ budgets.
Joint and cardiac screening matter in a dog of this weight. Inside Scroller carries supplements as a standing monthly line of ₹800 to ₹2,000.
Giant-breed training is not optional. Inside Scroller carries it as a monthly cost of ₹1,500 to ₹2,500 and calls it essential for giant breeds.
The checks that apply to any puppy
- See both parents, in the place they live. A puppy mill cannot offer you that, which is what makes it the most useful question you can ask.
- Ask for the vaccination and deworming record with dates and what was given. The full first-year course runs ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 on our sources.
- Check the KCI papers if you are paying for them. Both parents must be KCI-registered and carry KCI-approved microchips for a litter to be registrable, and the breeder must file within 90 days of the birth. Papers record parentage, not health.
- Avoid a pet shop if you can. Supertails writes that many Indian pet shops source from puppy mills, and advises anyone who does buy from one to insist on the vaccination records and see a vet within 48 hours.
- Consider a rescue. A shelter or indie rescue charges ₹0 to ₹2,000, often covering the first vaccination and the sterilisation.
FAQ
Saint Bernard prices: the questions people ask
- What is the Saint Bernard price in India?
- About ₹25,000 to ₹45,000 for a basic puppy with limited papers, ₹55,000 to ₹90,000 with KCI registration, ₹80,000 to ₹1,20,000 for show quality and ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,50,000 for a Swiss or European import, on Inside Scroller, Mr n Mrs Pet and Aruani Pet Stop.
- Can a Saint Bernard survive in Indian heat?
- Our sources treat it as a dog that needs active cooling all year in the plains. Inside Scroller carries climate management as a monthly cost of ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 and prices the breed cheapest in the hill stations, which is the market telling you where it belongs.
- How much does a Saint Bernard eat in India?
- Inside Scroller puts an adult at 6 to 10 cups of premium giant-breed food a day, roughly 7 to 12 kg a month, costing ₹5,000 to ₹10,000. That is the largest food bill of any breed on these pages.
- Short coat or long coat for India?
- Inside Scroller prices the long coat higher because it is more popular to look at, and notes it needs more grooming. In Indian conditions the short coat is the more practical of the two, so here the cheaper option is also the kinder one.
- How long does a Saint Bernard live?
- The AKC gives 8 to 10 years, which is the shortest life expectancy of any breed on these pages. Giant breeds age faster, and it is a real part of the decision.
- How big does a Saint Bernard get in kg?
- 54.4 to 81.6 kg as an adult, on the American Kennel Club standard, which states it as 140-180 pounds (male), 120-140 pounds (female). Height at the shoulder is 66 to 76 cm. Most of the weight gain is done by about 13 months for a dog in the giant size class.

India’s own breeds
Native alternatives of about this size
Nothing we could offer here honestly. A Saint Bernard is 54.4 to 81.6 kg on the American Kennel Club standard, and no native Indian breed with a published measurement is close enough in size for us to call it an alternative.
India’s measured native breeds top out well below this weight. The native dogs in this bracket are the Himalayan flock guardians, and only one of them, the Gaddi, has been measured at all. Our sources say it struggles on the plains for the same reason a Husky does, and it is still lighter than this breed.
The native breeds pages list all fifteen, measured and unmeasured, and say which is which.
