    Some Labs do have black spots on their tongues. It's nothing abnormal :)

    My one Lab has an enormous black patch on his tongue. I used to have a problem with him running in on his retrieves and one gundog trainer said "the ones with black marks on their tongues always run" for one moment I believed him :D

    Quinn has black spots on her tongue that have gotten a lot bigger as she's gotten bigger. You can't miss them!

    Everyone comments on them...we have heard everything to it means she is not a purebred to it means she was too closely bred. Our vet said that they are just like human birthmarks and don't mean anything about being purebred or not. My research has shown the same. It definitely makes her easy to spot at the dog park anyway!

    People always think she has mud in her mouth (sometimes she actually does too!)

    Finn is a yellow lab and has a few black spots on his tongue too!
