But why is that actually the case?
The dog portal edogs has an answer to this: “Large dogs, especially Molossians, have a strong tendency to drool.

Help, my dog is drooling!
Many dog owners probably think something like this when Bello salivates more than usual.
You can read about the possible reasons for this here.
You will also find out which dog breeds have excessive drooling.
Why do dogs drool?
Various reasons and causes
Whether it's his food, a treat or a result of breeding that increases saliva production in the four-legged friend - dog owners already know about it and don't have to worry.
But if the dog loses saliva increasingly, suddenly or for no apparent reason, the trigger could be stress - positive or negative -, excessive heat or even a foreign body in the mouth.
But various illnesses can also be the reason for unusual saliva production.

In addition to kennel cough, this also includes dental disease or inflammation of the gums, as well as problems with the stomach or salivary glands.
Tumors, swellings or abscesses can also result in increased saliva production.
If the dog is in pain or has eaten something poisonous, excessive salivation can be a sign that dog owners can use to recognize that something is wrong with their four-legged friend.
If the vet has prescribed medication for your dog, increased salivation may be one of the side effects.
