I think it's normal.
I have 2 dogs. One dog likes to hit the water bowl many times a day for short drinks and the other one does exactly what your dog does. |

I should have named my Spaniel "Sump Pump."

I have 2 Brits.
One is a sipper. The other is a friggin' camel. She'll drink an entire water bowl. Then she walks in the garage, burps, and yaks most of the water back up.  Then back to the water bowl...

There's nothing wrong with a well hydrated canine.

Heh, good replies, thanks. We all stand there laughing at him making while we make camel jokes, but it occurred to me today that maybe he had some sort of medical issue. Glad to hear there are other "chuggers" out there.

One of my collies does that. She'll chug it down like no tomorrow. Then when she is done she jumps into the water bowl, spills out what is left and walks off so the other dog doesn't get any. |

My last Bassett would take a short drink every time she passed the water jug.
The 2 Bassetts that I have now will stop and drink for long periods like you dog does (though not 5-10 minutes). I was concerned until I noticed the dogs were each drinking about the same amount as my previous dog. I suspect it is just a developed habit. |
