Won't get into a debate. That's why I said with ears you'll find it's a matter of opinions. Thanks for coming along and proving me correct. Some people believe it's genetics, some circumstantial. Me I believe alot of times it is genetics, alot of times it is circumstances. |
My sources come from Ann Seranne a very respected breeder and exhibitor or Yorkies and my college genetics book. You don't have to believe anything, you're not the one who asked. If there is not a physical cause there's a genetic cause and these facts will help you to eliminate drop ears from your breeding program. You don't want to learn, don't listen.
Dee, His ears will probably be fine when he finishes teething. If not now you know how work with it if it is genetic. The joy of breeding your own show dog is a great resource, I believe Mary recommended it to me.
