I don't think so. My Dad's friend breeds Mal's and I don't remember ever seeing one with a purple tongue

yes, alot of breeds can have purple or black spots on their tongues. My RB Rottweiler did. I think she means like having a whole purple tongue

Goldens can have black spots on their tongues... My Emmie does.

i ment solid or spots. i used to have a GSD/malamute cross and she had purple spots on about half her tongue. that's why i thought mals had purple tongues cause GSD don't i know.

Oh, Ok then

In that case I think pretty much all dogs can have purple on their tongue

Sorry, I just misunderstood the first time

Some dogs are just born with it.

Mals don't have purple tongues. Occasionally they have splotches of color on their tongues but that happens in many breeds. I have an Alaskan Husky (aka mutt) with several spots on her tongue.
