[This usually means that the dog is a mutt and has some Chow breed in it. Chows have black (purple) tongues, so when they have mix breed pups, the puppies have purple dots on their tongues.]
CORRECTION: A number of breeds have black or blue tongues. If every dog that has blotches on its tongue were part Chow, all I can say is that those Chows have surely gotten around!
Plus, my dog is a registered purebred! She is a blue merle Australian Shepherd. I've wondered if the blue merle gene sometimes causes black splotches on the tongue. Even her skin is merled, not just her hair!
Could somebody answer this question who doesn't feel inclined to be insulting? Thanks.

∙ 13y agoDo you have any orange tabby cat? Most the time the black spots are common and are nothing to worry about. It is the cats coloring, much like freckles. If there are black spots on his/her chin, it could be feline acne which can be reduced by using metal feeding bowls instead of a plastic ones. If the spots are not causing your cat any discomfort or are not increasing in size- I wouldn't worry too much.

Note that a black mark on the tongue can be a sign of cancer, especially if it seems swollen or contorted, or is oozing fluid.
