I did a university projecton bobsleigh aerodynamics...
I reckon you'd get a bit of drag off that tongue - or does it retract once the athletes are on-board?

Well, that may be the case,but the tongue is smooth and lubricated with baby lotion and strawberry scented wax on the bottom to enable the Dogsleigh to slide down the Dogsleigh Run at immense speed. The ears provide lift in the same way as airoplane wings, thus reducing the friction on the ice and increasing the velocity of the Dogsleigh.
