Hi all,

I have a question.....

I've noticed Bruno is sticking his tongue out more than before. He's 2.5 years old now and I've noticed over the past 6 months or so that his tongue is sticking out more frequently.

Is this something that is inherent in bulldogs as they get older?

Thanks in advance.

Some will do it and some won't, the only time some of mine will, is when they sleep and its usually just the tip.

I have noticed as Molly has gotten older her Tongue sticks out a lot more than it used to! Many of the older bulldogs in rescue also have tongues that hang out to the side.

Mila sticks her tongue out a lot. Especially when sleeping. She wakes up and walks around with it sticking out. She is getting pretty good at pulling it back in just before I pull it. Btw she has one of the biggest, longest bulldog tongues I have ever seen. I guess I need to start taking more pictures.

Gunny started at about 5 months, but it is only the tip. It seems like the more pronounced the underbite is, the more tongue they show. :)

Punkin's big tongue sticks out 99% of the time and everyone finds it adorable. Stiggy's tippy tongue only shows when he's sleepy from an exhausting day.

My bulldogs are about four years old. BabyGirl doesn't stick out her tongue at all and Mr. Wilson just the tip once in a while and when he smells BabyGirl in heat.

Ftse always sticks his tongue out when he is asleep and when he wakes up he must forget it is still hanging out and the deeper the sleep the more it comes out.

Herman's sticks out mostly when he's sleeping, but only the tip. I have seen it poking out recently when we go outside. I love it when it's dried up after he's sleeping and I grab it and he cant feel it LOL

Macks sticks out when he sleeps too, farther out the more tired he is. We always joke that it sticks out bc its too big for his smashed face, that it needs a snout to have anough room!
