I’ve had 3 Pure Bred Brittanys and they definitely don’t have a drooling problem at all. Only characteristic I’d say totally wrong, everything else is pretty spot on

I've had 2 purebred Brittanys and they will drool - but only when they're salivating for some of our dinner! I'm sure it all depends on the dog. Otherwise, there's no drooling any other time
