Pink tongue and drop ears

Post by Ellaisa Marie »

I have a chow and her tongue didn't darken to blue - black. When i bought her i didn't know it is normal for them. I saw her siblings 1 is spotted then the other is really dark in color. She's almost 3 months old. Will it change as she gets older?

Her ears are also drop. And she have patches of color brown in her face. Now, i doubt that she's really a chow. But i still love her that much.

Hi Ellaisa Marie,
Whether or not you're baby is a Chow, I'm glad to hear you still love her. If possible, post a picture of your baby and we can give you some excellent opinions. A lot of our members are very knowledgeable, and some could probably be judges in dog shows.

I must say with out pics it's hard to say what you have, but I had a 1/2 chow half German shepherd , we got her from the SPCA someone had an oops litter! her coloring had the dark shepherd mask and one ear drooped and her tongue was spotted but by 4 yrs she looked more chow than shepherd and her tongue turned completely purple and as a pup it was spotted! And her ears both went up ( although they were a little bigger than most chows) If I find a small pic of her I will post it! but I too loved her no matter what part was what!!! But it's nice to know what they are I agree and even for other reasons like health issues and traits. the g.shepherd part made her recall so much better than my pure chows so that was a nice surprise!

By the way this is the photo of the parents and siblings. A friend told me that the father looks like a terrier. When i asked the breeder, she told me that the father is chow spitz. It's my first time so i was clueless at all.

OMG no wonder you love her she is soooo cute, from the parents it looks like some chow mixing ,and the pups are definitely pure sweetness! the parent one on the right looks like some terrier and maybe chow the tongue is purple it looks like and the one on the left looks like chow with maybe some spitz too( the white markings on the face) Either way your pup is adorable! my mix got furrier as she got older the chow came out more than the shepherd!

Honestly feel like the one on the right is some sort of poodle or a bearded collie
