My black lab has a spotted tongue as well and would like to know what this means too. I know his dad is a yellow and his mom is a chocolate. So I don't believe he is a mix of any kind.

The spots on a dog tongue is normal. It has nothing to do with them being a "mutt". Go check this web site: http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/tonguespots.html Happy reading...

... however, keep in mind that any dark, RAISED patches on your dog's tongue, patches that weren't there or that you never noticed until recently, please have your vet check them out immediately. There are three serious types of cancer that exhibit themselves in black/grey/purple tumorous patches.

the reason your black lab has spots on its tongue is because it has licked to many other dog butts

Our two lab mixes have similar sounding tongues, they are of course mixed with chow.

Blklab, thank you for that article. Our Dutch Shepherd is a rescue dog, so were not exactly sure what hes mixed with, although he*s dominant Dutchie. But his spotted tongue always made us wonder what breeds carry this gene...now I know...they all do! Thank you so much for bringing closer to the question, "Is he mixed with chow? Cuz he looks nothing like it!
