    I will never own a St.Bernard ;)

    So.......I'm a dog walker and I recently got a new client. A very sweet St.Bernard named Casey. Today I showed up to take her out for her afternoon walk, she was so excieted to see me!!Big Smile Yah, so excieted she started wiggling everywhere then shook her head and BLAM!!!! A huge sling of drool was across my shirtSurprise- literally from my left shoulder across and down to my bottom left rib...LOL, good thing I love this dog!!!! Stick out tongue

    I have to add Apollo drools allot, especially when food is around...but he isn't a drool-slinger!!

    We have a St. Bernard, Elvis who comes to work with a co-worker regularly and I absolutely LOVE this dog, but I don't know that I could live with that much slobber.  They have a dacsund who "cleans" Elvis's mouth at home like a little "cleaner fish!" Um...... Gross!!!! I would babysit Elvis in a heartbeat though and we would work it out cuz he is such a love!!!!

    ROFL what a visual that makes!  My dog gets a good foaming long drool going at the dog park.  I love to watch where it will land eventually.  And he does get tons of it on him from the others also!  Its fun to watch on windy days.  It can stretch to the ground and still stay attached. 
    LOL

    I've never been much of a fan of "wet mouthed" dogs for that very reason.   Though I'd make an exception for a DDB like Talus!Wink

     I love the visual!  That's how my aunt's Great Pyrenees used to be.  Gotta love the drool!

    I am so spoiled with my Maremmas.  Giant dogs, minimal drool.   I really get kind of queasy with the whole slobber thing, though giant dogs are very sweet.  I'd own a Newfie in a heartbeat if it weren't for that.

     My old rottie Durc used to shake his head after a good run and slobber strings would wrap around his entire head.  It looked like rush hour for slugs up there.  EW!

    There was a Saint Bernard in the first training class I ever went to, way back in Junior High. Because of the heel work, dog's head by her leg, by the end of every class her pants were soaked through from waist to knee.

    Owe Saint are my secret heart dogs!!  Always wanted one since I was a child but am ashamed to admit the drool keeps me from them.  My Swissy is a large breed "dry month" dog but his flews are large so he can slobber a bit of water.  But dogs with flews like Saints, they slobber - slobber and lots of it.  My friend has a mastiff that to is a drooler and they have towels all over the house to wipe his mouth constantly.  They say that if he shakes his head and the drool gets on the wall and they don't catch it, the next day its like glue. 

    I was just telling my DH the other day that we should get us a Saint - then he look around the house, pointed out the hair and the puddle around Rivers bowl.  He said, would you like that puddle and slobber all over the house, furniture and wall?  So I shut up, but the urge will again come.  Once day I WILL own my Saint and I am sure I will learn to live and love his slobbers!

    Thanks for the visual though ROFLMAOI!  I

    I love it....Gallantman Talus: Drool-Slinger....

    Talus is truly a drool slinger....
    I think he intentionally slings right in front of the big screen tv...

    My favorite are drool bubbles...I'll have to post a pic of that for you....

    ...and it is really like glue....thank god for Mr. Clean Magic Erasers or my white walls would be finished...

    (Ed...I was worried there for a second....Wink)

    So true!  Our dog, now at the Bridge, was a Bullmastiff, and he was a champion drooler.  We had rags/towels placed strategically around the house, and we gave them to guests to keep on their laps if needed! 

    One morning at work my co-worker greeted me with, "Good morning.  Hey - what's that in your hair?"  I reached up and felt a slimy slobber that was planted there earlier that morning.  Tongue Tied Lovely!  I also remember taking walks and he'd shake his head after panting heavily and it would land on my glasses, and I'd have to walk the rest of the way looking through slobber (tissues weren't always successful at cleaning it!).

    I used to curse the slobber, but even 2 years after his death, we still find faint stains of it dried in weird places, and it makes me smile.  I pulled  a book off a high shelf the other day, and there was evidence of a slobber mark.  They're bittersweet little messages to me now.
