Not all dogs slobber. Here is a link that lists the one that do the most.

No they don't all slobber uncontrollably! Dogs with undershot jaws like boxers and bulldogs have a tendency to slober more, as do those with droopy jowels and lips like St Bernards and Bloodhounds.
A safer bet breed is one with a neater jaw line like a jack russell terrier or a border collie.
Most dogs when hot will pant and dribble a bit and some dogs salivate a lot more when they are excited or stressed but I guess the slobbering you are worried about is the slimey shoe string effect?!
Its a bit of a risk as each dog is different but chose your breed carefully and you should have a problem!

Yes they all slobber. Some more than others. If you dont like slobbers dont go for a breed with big jowls ie Great Dane, St Bernard. Go for a smaller breed such as a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or Pomeranian. Although some smaller breeds such as Lhasa apsos do slobber. I should know, I'm a groomer and they do enough slobbering on me.

Buy a Yorkshire Terrier, They dont Moult, slobber or smell. I had mine for 18 years before she died last year. In all the time I had her she didnt cost me anything in vets bills, except when she had her first injections as a puppy. She was the best dog I had ever had the great pleasure of owning.

Don't get a Mastiff!!!!!!!!!!! They drool like crazy. But, sadly, yes ever dog slobers. It is really just like out spit. Not all dogs let it drool out of their mouth, unless they are hot.

My dog doesn't slobber that much unless food is involved and she is desperate for what your offering her, shes a golden retriever, a beautiful dog and very little slobbering.

My Bullmastiff slobbers, he shakes his head and it splats you in the face, I'm always wiping down walls, and I have to have a towel at hand all the time,but we love him too bits.The only thing is I have to take a black bin bag and a shovel out with me when I walk him,lol.

It is normally soft jowled dogs that slobber the most, ie gun dogs. My old English Setter slobbered for the UK.

Don't choose a boxer or any of the drooly ones!!!! Depends on what size of dog you want - I'll go for Scotties every time!

All dogs slobber when they pant. They have to pant so they slobber. That is why I don't want a dog. Plus they lick your face.
