How much do you know about dogs?

[Sudilar]

I think the barkless dog is the Basenji and Chow Chows have blue tongues.

Sue's right.

[Pam]

Yep, Sue's right. My sister-in-law has a basenji and a friend from work has a chow. Basenjis sort of yodel instead of bark and the chows definitely have blue tongues.

Ooops! I was trying to make Golden Retrievers second in both of your original catagories. Of course, I am biased towards the popularity thing...since I am such a Golden Retriever fan, but I knew that the Goldens and Labs also get the bad rap for biting as well. Honey probably has the capacity to bite, as she is so nervous, but she hasn't, and I make sure she is never in a situation to be tempted to! And Lilly could only be accused of licking someone to death!!!

I think Sue is right on with your next set of questions....I didn't know about the barking thing, but the Chow Chows definitely have the blue tongue.

Obviously, Chow Chows have blue tongues. But, I have a friend who has had full bred German Shephards and she says that can have blue on their tongue as well. By the way, I would have guessed the Chow to bite the most since it was bred to be a fighting dog and never a Golden Retriever. My dog is part Chow and mostly Border Collie and never bites anyone, but she can static jump 4 feet into the air!! She has a spotted toungue and gums -- she looks like she got into the licorice jar. Yea Jessie

I know! It's a Newfoundland, right? Sometimes the black and white ones are called Landseers, too.

[Corinna]

Chows are not only the only blue tongued dog, Sharpa's also have blue-black tongue.

[Sudilar]

Landseers are beautiful! Yes, I think it is the Newfoundland for the first breed.

[ShepherdLover]

Breed #1 I believe is a Newfoundland.

Breed #2 I believe is a Bloodhound.

[ownerof3dogs]

I agree with ShepherdLover

[Daisy's Mom]

Breed 2 is definitely a Bloodhound! I know my hounds
