Dogs do not normally have hair on their tongues; this would be a congenital abnormality that could be surgically corrected by a veterinarian in most cases.
Dogs do have rough papillae which are approximately hair-shaped on their tongues; these provide surface area for taste and for traction against their food so they can get food into their mouths and manipulate it in their mouths.
it is actually just a freckle Dogs can have colored spots on their tongue or or anywhere in their mouth as with any other part of their body.
It's kinda like how we have freckles. My shepherd mix has 5 spots on his tongue, and I've seen a golden retriever with a "black" tongue like a chow. Lots of breeds can have spots
Because is call a cycle of dogs
they dont
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.
Nothing. Some dogs have black spots on their tongues. Ask your vet next time you visit if it's something you're worried about.
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.
No, the Keeshond has a pink tongue. Only Chow Chows and Chinese Shar-Pei have a black-bluish tongue.
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 black spots on dogs' tongues are just birth marks.
The dog that has big paws with black spots on the pads... (the dogs from guam)
I would be sure to check your dogs for worms and have a general blood test run. This would be the best starting place.
She is a pure breed of German Shepard. If you don't have one I advise you to get one. They are obidient and extremely protective and strong. Dr.Stewart
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.
Your dog's tongue is not supposed to be cold. Like most animals, the salive on a tongue may lead someone to believe that a tongue is cold because the saliva has been exposed to cool air. But if your dog's tongue is genuinly cold, it's time to take him to the vet!
