sassysaid Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 can anyone tell me if chow chows are the only breed of dogs that have the black tongues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrless Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 i am not sure and Sharpeigirl can say for sure, but I think Sharpeis do sometimes...and it usually shows up in mixes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyhoundMama Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I've heard that before. But I've seen enough mixes with black, or partially black tongues to wonder. My brother's purebred golden retriever has a black spot on his tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObedienceGrrl Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 A lot of dogs just have extra pigment on their tounges too....it doesn't mean anything (like they aren't a purebred or they have to be a mix with chow in them). it's just a freckle!

JackieMaya Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Maya, who is a Golden Retriever/Husky mix, has a big black dot on her tongue. My vet said it's basically like a birthmark, so that's what I call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAmericanPUP Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 [quote]Save to say, if you have a dog with a completely black tongue then it's probably a pure bred pei or chow, but if you have a dog with a little black on it's tongue that doesn't mean anything! [/quote] my cousin had a black lab/chow mix with a full black tongue you wouldnt know this dog had chow in it from lookin at it though, he looked like a purebred lab just a tiny bit smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogPaddle Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 My mix which is likely Lab/Huskey or Lab/GSDmaybe according to the vet has a large and small dark black spots on his tonge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philomela Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Do you know the Eurasier? I don't know how well-known they are in the US. They often have a black or black spotted tongue because one of their ancestors is the Chow Chow.
