Just thought I would share the following I met my first Buhund today while out walking  my pup. I have heard of them and thought he was an elkhound oops soon put right on that. Seemed a very nice dog ,friendly enough laid back maybe a bit aloof but happy to meet and greet my flatcoat as only a flatti can

I met two last year in the summer, when out on a long walk along the river, about 4 or so miles away. One fawn, one black. For an instant I thought they were big Schipperkes! lol

Both were rather barky which the owners said was normal for them, even though the dog I had with me tends to hard-stare at other dogs as a matter of course (which would put the willies up anybody really, I blame his Working sheepdog mother).

Can't talk for Buhunds but Elkhound do not like being eyeballed at all. Buhunds always seem to me more laid back than the Elkies but would think they would not enjoy being stared at either as most dogs find it an aggressive gesture and both Buhunds and Elkhunds would respond with a complaining bark.

Not a buhund story but your flatti line reminded me!
I met a flatti pack whilst out walking last week.  My lovely slobbery dog ran over to introduce himself and promptly got told off from the old girl for being too familiar.lol. So he ran over to meet the owner and slobbered all over her clothes much to her disgust!  I had to laugh though.  My dog only slobbered on her trousers what with not being a jumper, but her dog licked my eyeball and I wasn't even bending over!! Flattis, eh??

> slobbered all over her clothes much to her disgust

As a flatcoat owner i'm usually prepared for most thing and certainly dont mind mud and general stuff that goes with a dog all over my clothes, you have to get used to it, but i'm afraid doggy drool turns my stomach for some reason :-( so i may have done the same but not in a nasty way, its funny, i can pick up the sloppiest of poops and sick (although jelly type sick has me turning a funny colour lol) and whelp a bitch with no problems but proper dog drool has me heaving :-(

> but i'm afraid doggy drool turns my stomach for some reason :-(

ditto, can't deal with drool, all the hair mine produce, even getting into food not a problem ;)

Wet beards too are offputting.

Have to agree Brainless, hair does not smell and although it sticks to clothes it does brush off but drool sticks and even sometimes withstands a wash.

Oo now u are all making me cringe at least none of mine drool even if flat coats are licky its kind of dry licky. Btw said buhund was very good brooke has good doggu manners but he even tolerated her licking in his ears. Now learning how to great humans is still work in progress

> Wet beards too are offputting.

definitely. I could not have a dog with a beard.

Feel sorry for all the owners on here with drooly dogs but....
Much as I love all dogs (or profess to!) I could not comfortably live with strings of canine saliva for 12 years or more.

If I hadn't already decided that, then the Rhodesian Ridgeback I met in a pub a few years ago, who shook his head and fired a string of drool right into my drink, was the last straw!

Hahaha! After all the topics on poo and pus and whelping, I've finally managed to gross you all out and all it took was a bit of slobber!!LOL!
My boy is only slobbery during exercise and not in the house so I'm not that bothered.  That said, if you walk with me and my boy shakes that huge noggin, you'd better stand back!!
Strange, strange,people........haha

We had a 14 month old Newf come to training and they all thought it was hilarious that i had turn a funny shade of green while trying to help them with heelwork and general behaviour (which wasnt easy considering they had left it till that age to do anything with him :( )

Its surprising how high drool goes. I remember a famous lady judge copping a long string of drool on her hairdo.

I'm ok with all secretions except PUS, yuk.

Yes, I'm fine with everything except slobber - can't stand the sticky stuff! It was tricky back at my old ringcraft when the dogue de bordeax owner wanted to let his dog come and say hello, assuming that we were all dog lovers! :-D
