The blue tongue tels you they are pure Chow Chow. Pure bred beagles have a black spot on their tongue and that tells you they are more dominant. It is just a sign that tells you that you have a pure bred dog.

It is usually called purple or black. But that is just part of their characteristics. Like how all other dogs(but Shar Peis) have PINK tongues instead of purple. That is just how they were made.

A blue tongue indicates a lack of oxygen circulating through the blood supply. It may indicate a breathing problem such as pneumonia, or something stuck in the wind pipe. It could be a problem with the heart. A vet should be consulted about blue tongue.
