Does your dog have any black spots on their tongue?

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Kind of a pointless poll, but I was just curious. Every single dog except one in the obedience class Tango and I are in have black/purple on their tongue (1 GSD, 1 AmStaff, 1 Rottweiler, 1 Borzoi and a few Shih tzu mixes). None of my current dogs do, but Echo did have a couple and I think Jesse had one at the very back as well.

Hold on I have to go look......


OK, I'm back. Nope, no black spot on the ACD girl.

Interesting though, since people usually assume if a dog has black on it's tongue it must be a Chow mix. I've seen plenty of pure bred dogs of other breeds that had some color on their tongue though.

Yep, Timber has one little black spot on his tongue!

Moo is the only one who does.

[Chilli]

Nope.. no one in the house does.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I had to check before I responded. Nope, none of mine have spots.

[Taz_Zoee]

I voted no, but Zoee does have a black spot (we call it a freckle) under her tongue. You can see it in this pic I attached.

[Danegirl2208]

nope my 2 do not

Pepper had one. She was a purebred black cocker spaniel. Our springer, Dixie, had a bunch of black spots. Many purebred dogs have black on their tongues.

[GreyhoundGirl]

Nope, not a single one

[BitsyNaceyDog]

No tongue spots here.

[sammy101]

Lucy has a couple big spots and Kodie has no black at all.

[Twisterdog]

Only Keito does.

[molucass]

Nope!


When I volunteered at the humane society, if a dog had black on its tongue, they automatically said it must be mixed with chow.. I found that rather annoying.
