The "TONGUE" thread.

In another thread it was brought to my attention that Stark's sire had a long/big tongue.. I started looking at photo's of Stark, his siblings and other progeny and noticed a common theme... Feel free to share yours as well.

Shep, Stark's sire.

Stark, Shep's son.

Even from a young age Stark couldn't fit his tongue in his mouth!

Roxy, Shep's daughter.

Roxy and Stark (same sire).

Stark's tongue seems normal to me, then again Sage's tongue is always hanging out. For every picture I have with his mouth closed there are 300 more with his tongue hanging out

Stark's tongue is not freakishly long/big, either is his sires.. it just appears that way in photo's it would seem.. lol. I like the long/big tongue - gives them character!

Hahaha.

I wonder if Sage got his head tilting perfection from either of his parents? Genetic maybe? Hahaha..

Fun topic! Here's Onyx's, this was the first picture I ever saw of him.

Lucy and her best buddy Riley showing a little tongue:

A nice view with just a little tongue hanging out back when the leaves started to change:

And people always ask what those spots are on her tongue. If you look close enough, you can see her mom, Makowi, gave her those spots.

LOVE them!

Keep them coming! :P

Great thread Elisabeth!

About the only time I can take photo's of Molly with her tongue in, is when she's sleepy!

Here she is in the foreground with her sister and dam

I think German Shepherd Dogs have some of the best tongues, LOL.

Here's Charlie's:

Odin has the ridiculously adorable habit of letting his tongue hang out the side of his mouth.. it's really effective when we meet someone new and they ask me "Is he friendly?" As he's sitting there looking extra.. special

Sometimes it looks better when the tongue DOES hang out. Here's Panzer just showing his big boy teeth when they first came in.

One crazy-eye, tongue-dangling pup

And a normal tongue shot - covered with stick pieces of course.

It seems in my current shots, which are winter, he doesn't hang his tongue out as much.
