Well its part of their characteristics. Its like how all other dogs(besides Shar Pei's) have PINK tongues. Its just the way they were created.
I, myself am a proud owner of a thirteen year old chow! many people believe that chows have blue tongues, or black tongues but they actually have purple tongues! and the chow is the only dog with the amazing coloured tongue! Hope this helped! :)
No, pit bulls do not have black tongues. The color of a dog's tongue typically ranges from pink to blue-black. This misconception likely stems from the fact that the Chow Chow breed is known for having a completely black tongue.
Nope - the breed with a black tongue is a Chow.
Some dog breeds actually have black (or blue) tongues and gums. Ask your vet if the coloration in your dog is normal or not.
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.
Shar Pei's.
Chow chows tongues are blue/purple. You should search some pictures of them.
Not usually but some do have a few black dots.
yes
Two interesting facts about dogs are: * Dogs are not color blind, but don't see colors as bright as humans do. * All but 2 breeds of dogs have pink tongues; the Shar-pei and the Chow Chow have black tongues.
No, Chinese Shar Peis also have black tongues. Dogs of other breeds may have black spots, as well, but only the Chow and Shar Pei is known for its solid black/blue tongue.
Most dogs have tongues that are pink, any of varying shades. However, some dogs, such as the Chow (Chow Chow) have tongues that are black, or at least with areas of dark purple or black.(see the related question and link below)
