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 gotten a little sloppier as he has aged and his lower jowls are looser with age. I dearly love my Berner, and loved my Rottie to pieces and I can stand hair, mud, etc. but thick slobber sticking to my walls and ceilings is more than I can tolerate. In all my research, the Bernese was the largest dog I could find who did not slobber.
