I will never own a St.Bernard ;)

Come to my play group Sunday and see what other dogs' necks look like after our two Danes get through with them...   And, then, there's the issue of the water bowls - oye.

I'm afraid drool is a bit of a deal breaker for me, too. BF wanted a Boxer because he grew up with them, but after a week with the last one his parents had, I couldn't quite come to find his personality enough to overcome my weariness of a wet knee.

I would so have a Saint in a second if it wasn't for that drool, though! 

 Bugsy doesn't drool all the time but he can compete with the best slingers when he does   this is especially true on walks when the weather is warm and he is doing a lot of sniffing.  Then it is easily a hair, legs, sunglasses, wrapped around his nose, pants, where ever thing.  He has the most intense head shake/ear flapping move - its been likened to a helicopter noise.

Funniest was last summer at a dog festival on a HOT day someone came over to meet him and he did the head shake thing and this poor woman got drooled BAD.  Good thing she had a sense of humor  

and a while back I posted about the water bowl thing, that is far and away his most untidy habit!

And yes it is very clear that the person that invented magic erasers owned a large/giant breed drool slinger cuz no way you could live without them
