Do they really slobber like in the movie “Turner and Hooch?
No. The Dogue de Bordeaux featured in “Turner and Hooch” was fed a mixture containing beaten egg whites and other foodstuffs in order to create the excessive froth for the film. Dogues do drool, especially if they are heated from exertion, or anticipating a tasty treat. Due to their extensive lip volume, they due tend to retain larger amounts of food matter after a meal than other dogs. Since Dogues frequently provide their owners with loving “nose taps,” an overly fastidious owner might object to their clothing providing towel service to a well-fed Dogue.
