drool

| It's not drool that causes the discoloration. It's because of the long fur, food and water tend to get color the fur. There are types of whiting agents that you can use to keep the beard white, I just tend to shave under the chin, as it tends to matt from water.
Once you get a OES in the house, though, the discoloration isn't anything that you notice anymore. |
Agreed - they rarely are a drooly breed of dog. It is just stained hair from eating, drinking and getting dirt stuck to a mouth that is wet from eating and drinking. 
Frequent washing the face and drying it will minimize the staining if the hair is left long. There are numerous shampoos and whitening products out there as well. It isn't an issue if your dog is clipped short. |
| My male actually does drool. I keep his beard short which means his drool is more likely to end up somewhere else. |
Tiggy's a bit of a drooler too. But only when she sees food, eats food, runs, plays, or gets excited 
Well yes that's most of the time then isnt it. Its not really bad drooling but its there. I thought that the saliva did contribute to beard staining, but am prepared to stand corrected as I've not really looked into it. If you're prepared to wash their faces on a very regular basis you can keep the staining to a minimum in most dogs but they'll never be pristine white. The beard looks more stained when it's wet too as the hairs stick together. I've posted pics of Tiggy, the first one is at about 2pm with a dry brushed face the second about 2 hours later after a big drink and most likely a snuffle down the back of the couch but she hadnt been fed or outside to get dirty.

| Patch is a drooler, but not too bad; my sister's sheepdog is not a drooler at all. Like someone said, you don't notice the brown chin color - just now I had to look over at Patch to see if she has the brown chin. LOL. |
