I have two black labs. One is a AKC lab and the other I'm not sure.
On the one that is AKC I received her papers when I got her as a pup at 3 months. My other lab didn't come with papers and frankly, I forgot to follow up with the breeder to get them.

Here is my question:
However, she has black on her tongue ( spots or streaks). Does this mean that she is not a pure breed? I have heard that the chow breed also has black on their tongue. She shows no signs at all of being mixed with a chow and everything about her is lab, except the tongue.

Thanks in advance.

Here's a link (http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/tonguespots.html) about black spots on lab tongues.

Many purebreds have spots on their tongues.

Here's mine:

Black spots are normal. Smack had a couple and was a purebreed.

thanks guys, I've got my long awaited answer.

Good info
