Do some or most Boxers have very large tongues or larger than any other breed? My 12 month old boy Rock has a very long tongue. When it's hanging out it's sticks out about 5 inches. We were at the park today and I had a couple of kids come up to me and ask me if there was something wrong with his tongue. I said no, Boxers usually have large tongues, but the truth is I really don't know.

Hannah is my first Boxer with an unusually large tongue, so I find it very amusing the way it pokes out when she sleeps and hangs out the side when she is puffed out. It's pretty normal for some Boxers.
How ever, poor Brandy seen @ tungdog.com is not so normal
Wanda, Hannah & Jed.

Magnum has a very long tongue. One of his favorite games is a kissing game. We'll start out kissing him on his mouth and then we'll gradually back up (kissing each time) to see how far away from him we can go and for him to still be able to "kiss" us with his tongue.
His other favorite game that we play is when we see if we can kiss him without him kissing us first. But, that tongue of his is so fast and so long that sometimes, he gets us as we're coming in for a kiss and if you're not careful, he'll get you in the mouth!!:D

Yep. Chloe is a member of the big tongue club as seen in the link
It does seem to be bigger after she runs around for a while though.

I think this is factual..
Their tongues are normal sized, but the muzzle is short.. When the muzzle was shortened through breeding, the tongue stayed the same.. Sort of an optical illusion.. Though I am sure some dogs tongues are bigger than others!! Just like human noses!

Cassius's tongue is huge!!:eek: being a winter puppy, he never really needed to use it, but when spring arrived and the first time he was hot and was panting, it was like--OK!!OMG!!!my tongue is way too big for my mouth..we thought it was hialrious to watch him try to figure out what to do with it:D and learn to pant at the same time.
