Claire Owen Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 oh yes! Bailey cant fit his tongue in his mouth. Our neighbours love him because of his comedy tongue. It certainly gives you plenty of opportunity for some really good pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushy Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 thanks i was beginning to think we had another oddball in the family we have 5 dogs and they are all very different and a little bit strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BustopherJones Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I always wonder how Annie gets all of that tongue back into her mouth before she closes it. Of course, in some human circles...never mind, I'd better not go there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra s. Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Uh oh, crate time approaching? I'm always wondering why Kessie's tongue is so short; this is about as far as it comes out: Before I found these boards I'd never have considered that a short tongue! There's some amazing tongues out there :eek: . Try the search function, you'll find loads of tongue pictures. Oh and welcome to the boards of course!

Beth G Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Lol... yup totally normal. My two have almost always got their tongues hanging out- to some degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Have you seen Wick's tongue yet? OMG. That dog has tongue. Dazzle's doesn't always fit in her mouth either. Very normal for these long tongued BCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Teehee, Kat's Dogs - I was thinking of Wick too - but you know what? I think Claire's Bailey would give Wick a very close run for her money. ETA - Sorry Bushy - I forgot my manners - welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisingRiver Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Anyone have any ideas as to why a BC needs such a long tongue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Anyone have any ideas as to why a BC needs such a long tongue?So they can make fun of the sheep by sticking their tongues out at them. For real, I would think somthing to do with panting and keeping cool and all that - but I really have no idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airbear Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Originally posted by Kat's Dogs:...I would think somthing to do with panting and keeping cool and all that - but I really have no idea! I'm with you. Wick's tongue is hidden most of the time, but when she chases ball, she goes all out, not just chasing it, but hauling butt back to line up for the next throw. I think that she must do triple the yardage of a normal dog, what with the over-running, the circling, and such. She's also really weird.

Anda Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Airbear, I just visited your dogs' webpages, and I am impressed with the against-all-odds start that Wick had. She's so lucky to have found you! She's a fascinating character, that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
