Bloodhounds drool excessively, which is probably one of the most undesirable characteristic. This can be blamed on our large flews.  We can't help it, saliva just really builds up in there. When it has no where to go, it drips out.  Not only do we drool, but we can actually, with one shake of our head, send the slime flying 20 feet across a room.  This can get messy.  If it's not cleaned up right away, it dries like cement.  Oh, and there is nothing that my slime won't stick to...picture frames, windows, walls, clothes, hair or skin.  You name it and my drool will stick to it! This may be the hardest "characteristic" to get used to. Drool constantly builds up, but tends to be worse when I'm playing, walking, on a 'search training mission' and especially when I watch somebody else eating. You know how your mouth waters when you are really hungry and dinner's cooking and it smells so good...well my mouth waters, too, but my "water" just drips out. Another example of drool build up is like when a human has "drool build up", but humans can just SPIT!  Bloodhounds can't, so we drip or fling! Even though it is just so natural for us to do this, some humans often can't stand it...unless they are truly "Bloodhound People" (they are the Best Kind of People!) Only true lovers of the breed can overlook and overcome this habit of ours.

Here's a few photos of my drool.

 

Here it comes...	I just can't help it...drool just happens.	Here's a big one!	Put on your raincoats, I'm ready to fling this one!
