Hi Julie, The Bernese is said to be a dry mouthed breed but there will be exceptions. Dogs with very loose flews can be more drooly and any dog with teeth problems will drool. Bernese are usually fairly good on the no drool list but anytime they anticipate a food treat or emotional distress they wi

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, Saints. I have found that Flash, who is usually dry mouthed, has got

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

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

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. Susan > > Some of the breeders may have a better answer for you, but I have NEVER > seen a Berner drool.

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 th

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 ofte

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 indication of drooling. The ones I've seen have also been pretty neat about drinking. Julie

Hi, I'm new to the list. I am considering whether the berner is the right breed for our family. I have researched the dogs and have learned that SOME drool. If a dog is going to be a drooler, at what age does this typically start? Can this trait be seen in the pups? For the dogs that are drool
