I agree. What I meant was that since Loki's ears are down, is there more of a chance for infection than in a dog that has "up" ears? That's what I've been told but I have no idea if it's true.
I love shaved ears - I even shave them in between grooms. I never knew to shave them when Loki was a puppy though but I think his ears were down for good when we got him anyway. He also has a very soft, thick coat.
