My daughter's yorkie sticks out her tongue when she's about to get into trouble. It lets us know what she is thinking. My new little boy doesn't do that yet but I'm sure he will figure it out. Better than the tongue is the smiling. Oh the smiling it is just too cute.

Farrah's tongue is usually out a tiny bit, even while sleeping.

Panting is normal, it cools their body down so they don't overheat It's their own personal AC..hehe..

My chihuahua Foxy is a year and a half now and since she was about 6-8 months old her tongue has hung out of her mouth even while it's closed.. LOL it is too cute!

Turns out she has a bit of an overbite and the vet thinks it might be that and a combination of that and her tongue being to long for her little short face

She is a tiny girl, only about 6-8" tall and about 4 pounds (she is a tad overweight, like maybe a pound). She has that apply shaped head I think, with the short muzzle (see pic)... But when she licks, that tongue is so dang long..LOL..

It always sticks out on the right side... she is a cutie and a great little dog. So easy to train to a litter box too. She is a long haired.. I have had several people ask me what breed she was..LMAO.. and then I get a funny look when I say purebred chihuahua

I’m a New Momma, Baby Girl Marley is 15wks., with most of her teeth in, and her tongue doesn’t stick out. Both her Parents tongues stuck out slightly. I thought it was a Yorkie trait?
I have a 12yrs. Old Bailey has always had this tong out slightly. We just lost Bailey’s Momma Fergie in March. Her tongue was out slightly too, all the time.
My question is, reading all the post it isn’t trait? Right?

Yorkies are SO cute. It doesn't matter what they are doing, they're always too cute.

It is not a yorkie trait that their tongues stick out. There are some yorkies for whatever reason the tip of their tongue show. Every so often the tip of my boys tongue will show, but it is definitely not a yorkie trait.

No it’s not a normal yorkie trait. Dogs will sometimes stick the tip of their tongue out to regulate temperature like when sleeping but if it’s an all time thing it either means there is an issue with their bite like an over bite or if they have missing teeth or no teeth that can happen to.
