The Club was established during an Inaugural Meeting 3rd December 1976 and affiliated with the Royal Agricultural Society Kennel Club in 1977 (later becoming the Royal NSW Canine Council Ltd trading as Dogs NSW). The Club fully supports Dogs NSW in protecting the interest of purebred dogs and the promotion of responsible dog ownership.
As the official caretaker of the Saint Bernard in NSW and only affiliated club for the breed with Dogs NSW, the Club holds Specialty Championship Shows, educational seminars and social events for anyone with an interest in this magnificent breed. Members receive a quarterly Club journal called 'Songs of Saints' also known as the S.O.S. this allows Members keep informed with Club activities, General Meeting minutes and important notices. The Club promotes its website and Facebook page so Members and friends both in Australia and around the globe can keep in touch.
The Club advocates membership of Dogs NSW and participation by all Members in conformation judging, obedience encouragement trials and junior handlers. The Club's 63rdnd Championship Show was held on Easter Saturday 4th April 2015.

Along with other social and educational events, the Club also holds a annual Fun & Information Picnic Day, to which both prospective and existing owners are welcome to come along and join in with Club Members in a family day out with their Saints and to participate in the various activities organised.
The Club continues to encourage all Members to attend the General Meetings, held quarterly months (commencing February), and to participate in the decision making process. Suggestions and feedback from Members is always welcome and encouraged so that the Club can best cater to everyone’s needs and expectations and to ensure that the Club continues to evolve and improve.
