Black cat bases have a dog of a similar shape. Bit chunky but so are a lot of 28s!

There's a 28mm dog thread here, it may help?

It's worth noting you're not looking for what a St Bernard looks like today:

Thank you for the replies guys. I might take a punt on that one its cheap enough. I had a look through the dog thread before posting but just had another look and found one i missed first time around, although hes in a running pose.

I wasn't aware of the history of St Bernard but did suspect it might not be historical accurate for the time periord but thought at least he would look obviously Swiss =). Ideally i'm after the short fur mountain dog

Hey - it's your miniatures/army. Just want to make sure you knew what you were doing in case you were trying to be 100% historical (and adding something slightly non-historical can be great to add flavour anyway).
