Julie -- I have been to several Berner events in our area and have seen lots of different Berners - but not as many as lots of people on this List ;-). Some Berners DO drool, not as much as Saints, but enough to get you really gooey! We have been fortunate - we have had 3 BMDs in our home and none were droolers. Our current BMD Balou, can get you quite wet after he drinks though - I think he holds a lot of water in his mouth and jowls. Just be prepared with "drool rags" - baby diapers (cloth) work great!

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 E. Johnson wrote: >Hi, >I'm new to the list.
