Julie,
Some of the breeders may have a better answer for you, but I have NEVER
seen a Berner drool. If there are some that do, I'm sure it's rare. I've
been around plenty of them and have never seen any
Hi,
Saw your post. All Berners are different, some drool a lot, others less. You
never know what kind of drooler your pup is going to be.
We have our third berner and we have never been thinking the drool is a
problem, even if there are a lot of drool making slippery floors in our
kitchen very
Oh yeah - that black hair gets EVERYWHERE after a bath, doesn't it? In
your bed, in your food, up your nose... Gotta love it. :)
I've had three boys and not one of them has drooled, but I doubt I'd
care if they did. Absolutely right, though. If you're fastidious, a
Berner is not for you. But
Well, neither of mine has drooled spontaneously, like a Newf -- but hold up
a treat, and Djinn drools instantly! Stops as soon as she gets the treat.

Julie,
Welcome to the List, and I'm so glad you're asking questions! You will get plenty of
answers on this List, and I hope you have fun with us. Even if you decide to get a
different breed, we'd love to hear back from you!
As for drooling Berners. They aren't supposed to, of course, but some
Julie,
Berners are suppose to be a dry-mouthed dog. It's up to the breeders to
chose correct breeding partners for their dogs to keep this good feature
in our future puppies.
A wet mouth comes from loose flews. The lower lips on the sides. If
they are loose/hanging then air gets in the mouth

Most Berners are dry mouthed but when anticipating food or a treat, or if the
weather is really warm, they can produce some very liquid drips. Rarely, if
ever, does a Berner produce the thick, ropy drool of the Newfies, Pyrs,

My, just turned 1 year old, berner boy still does not lift his leg. He's pretty much

I guess that depends more on the individual dog rather than his specific
