The Chinese Shar-Pei shares this trait as well. I'd like to add that other breeds will show pigment spots, though perhaps not a fully black tongue. The Rottweiler is one that comes to mind.
Yes, the Chow Chows tongue is black but is a mystery as to why. My name is Alex and i am 11 years old, you may not believe me but this is accurate information.

CHOW
The Chow Chow is the most well know purebred dog with a wholly black or blue tongue, but the chow is not the only breed with a black tongue. The Chinese Shar Pei also has a blue/black tongue.
Are you asking about the breed of dog that has blue TONGUE? If so, the breeds Chow chow and Chinese Sharpei have blue tongues.

Chow chows tongues are blue/purple. You should search some pictures of them.
Some dog breeds actually have black (or blue) tongues and gums. Ask your vet if the coloration in your dog is normal or not.
chow chow
There are breeds that have Blue or Black tongues. Chow Chow and Shar Pei are the dogs that genetically have blue/black tongues. There is a disease called Blue tongue disease which only affects hoofed animals and does not affect dogs. But if you are referring to the dog's tongue turning blue because lack of oxygen circulating through the body this is called Cyanosis. This is very serious and the dog would need to see a vet right away to be put on oxygen and then for diagnoses to be run to find out the cause so it may be treated. Please see Related Links for more information.
A chow chow? :{
The Chinese chow-chow and the akita have black, bluish, or blue-black tongues, as do chow or akita crosses. There may be others as well. Some dogs that have a history of black dogs in their breeding, such as Golden Retrievers, have dark spots on their tongues.
If blue spots appear on the dog's tongue i recommend to directly contact your vet. Chow-chows, and mixes of this and a few other breeds have these naturally. If they have always had them , I wouldn't be too concerned, just mention it at your next Vet visit.If the spots are growing noticeably, or are a recent development, by all means , go to the Vet ASAP.
