Does your Newfoundland dog drool?

Tuesday April 1st, 2008 @ 9:46 am by Andreau

Nope, not mine. He is tight lipped, his flews are not big enough to hold copious amounts of drool, at least he doesn’t think so.

Here he is posing for the camera, completely oblivious to the thick, slimy “flooger” strung between his eyes.

That’s right, nothing to see here, no floogers to be found anywhere. After all Angus doesn’t drool.

Ok, he drools a little… when he is sleeping!! Most other times he can be found with perfectly symmetrical floogers hanging in wait for anyone to get within range so he can deposit them on your clothes!

Outside in the snow he can fling those suckers the length of the yard when he shakes his head. I’ve been hit by many flying slingers, but the worse are the half frozen ones, we’ll just call those floogcicles. I have no pictures of them as I fear for the camera lens getting in the way of the line of fire and shattering in my hands.

So in closing, if you see a Newfoundland Dog breeder advertising the “non-drooling” variety run very quickly the other way! Drool happens….. and finds its way into and onto everything, especially clean clothes!!

The next question I will address is “Do Newfoundland dogs shed?”. I will try to explain that natural phenomenon another time. :)

    Too funny! I knew there was a reason I love these dogs from afar.

    “flews … slimy flooger … flying slingers”

    So I’m guessing that wasn’t a straight-forward spell check.

    Nice looking dog, nice looking shots.

    You answered my question. I guess I will have to love my new newfie drool and all.
    Great write up.

    Cute write-up… but I do have a tight-lipped Newfie, and she doesn’t drool a bit… ever!

    I have a Newfie called – also called Angus – boy does he drool ! He can create massive ones and even attach biscuit crumbs to them in very artistic strings…. I have gotten used to it and stand well back when he shakes his head but do have to occasionally wash one off the ceiling :-)

    Love, Love this. I have a drooler (big time) and a fairly non-drooler. Like the pic with the ‘flooger’ on the face – looks like home. They are so beautiful and loving. My kitchen floor usually looks like someones back garden, but so what, I love them. They are Maggie and Beaver, both two years old
