Assuming he's not a chow or other dog that has always had pigment (spots) on his gums,

If your dogs gums are not healthy and pink it could be dehydrated or have other serious underlying health problems. This is the way to check for dehydration,the vet told me to grab the skin around the neck like its mom carried it when it was a baby, but dont pick it up, just pinch the skin together, if the skin somewhat stays together when you let go, its dehydrated. I think you need to get to a vet the color of the gums dont sound good... Good luck
Usually means your dog is in shock, bleeding internally, or has no pulse. Cancers, poison, viral infections, enteritis, and any number of other grave conditions will cause the gums to lose color, please have your pet examined asap.
