Sometimes they can have black or black spotted tongues. To be sure that your dog is a purebred contact the breeder and learn more about the sire and the dam. Possibly somewhere along the line your dogs ancestors could have chow in them... but your dog could also be just a purebred.
No, they have a pink tongue if they are purebred, the Samoyed has a purple tongue. If the dog is mixed with the Samoyed the tongue may have spots. Although the above may be true... it might not be the case. The dogs tongue might simply have some heavy pigmented tongue cells! It's kind of like a birth mark in humans.
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.
The presence of black spots on a dog's tongue does not determine their breed. It is a common misconception that only certain breeds, like Chow Chows or Shar Peis, have black spots on their tongues. The color of a dog's tongue can vary regardless of the breed.
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.
Because Chows are the dogs most known as having black or black-spotted tongues, some mistakenly assume that a dog with a black tongue is a Chow or at least part Chow. In reality, there are many other breeds of dog that may have black spots on their tongue or gums.The Chinese Shar-Pei (commonly referred to as the 'wrinkle dog') is another breed that is known to have a black tongue. Many breeds are known to have tongues or gums with black spots, prompting less knowledgeable owners to think they may have a dog that is of mixed parentage rather than a purebred.The following breeds are ALL known to have black tongues:Airedale (If purebred, they only have black spots, not an entirely black tongue and it does relate to Chow Chow bloodlines in the breed development in this situation)AkitaAustralian Cattle DogAustralian ShepherdBelgian SheepdogBelgian MalinoisBichon FriseBull MastiffCairn TerrierCollieCocker SpanielDalmationDoberman PinscherEnglish SetterGerman Shepherd DogGolden RetrieverGordon SetterGreat PyraneesIrish SetterKeeshondLabrador RetrieverMastiffNewfoundlandPomeranianPugRhodesian RidgebackRottweilerSiberian HuskyTibetan Mastiffas well as several other breeds that are less well known.The black spots on a dog's tongue are a result of excessive pigment, much the same as freckles or birthmarks in people.
No, the Keeshond has a pink tongue. Only Chow Chows and Chinese Shar-Pei have a black-bluish tongue.
The black spots on dogs' tongues are just birth marks.
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, Treeing Walker Coonhounds do not typically have black tongues. Their tongues are usually pink, similar to most dog breeds. However, some dogs can have spots or patches of darker pigmentation, but a completely black tongue is not characteristic of this breed.
Usually if dogs are mixed they have a white tip on their tail or white on their paws. A purebred lab will not have these. A purebred is all one color. You can look online for the exact specifications of the breed so that you can find other inconsistencies.
I would be sure to check your dogs for worms and have a general blood test run. This would be the best starting place.
A black or purple spot on the tongue could be indicative of a variety of conditions including trauma, oral cancer, or oral infections. It is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
