Temperature regulation is a critical tongue function for a dog. Since they don't sweat, dogs cool themselves predominantly through their tongue.

Pekingese dogs do not typically curl their tongues up. Their tongue may hang out or rest naturally in a relaxed position, but curling is not a common behavior. Individual dogs may show variations in tongue posture, but this is not specific to the breed. If a Pekingese frequently curls its tongue, it may be due to an underlying health issue or anatomical characteristic.

Why does my gods tongue hang out when it's cold?

When your dog's tongue hangs out when it's cold, it could be a way for them to regulate their body temperature. By panting and leaving their tongue out, they are releasing excess heat from their body which helps them to cool down. This behavior is natural for dogs as they cannot sweat like humans do to regulate their body temperature.
