Settle an argument maybe?

Question
Howdy Katie:
Have a good friend that has a Golden that has a small black spot on his tongue!
He claims that this is a true mark looked for and sought after in Goldens. Have you ever heard of such a thing?
Thought that perhaps you might have because you have knowledge of breeding Goldens.
Thanks for any help!

p.s. Goldens have got to be one of the top dogs!  

Answer
I'm sorry, but black spots on any dog tongue means that there has been a breeding somewhere down the line with a Chow Chow dog.  It isn't a sought after mark and is considered a flaw.  Sorry. Yes, they are top dogs :)  good luck with your agrument.  lol  katie
