My shihpoo licks my yorkie's ears. I've read it may be an alpha thing. The lowers in the pack like to groom the alpha. I don't know, but my shihpoo is a MAJOR habit licker. He licks the bend of his back legs. He doesn't lick sores, but knots up all the hair on his belly. I think it's a soothing thing for him, he does it mostly while settling down at night or first thing in the morning. I've started to make sure he has something to chew on at all times and walking him more to see if that helps. He is almost 4 has only started this in the last year. I hope your babies continue to get along, I'm not sure what the ear licking thing is about, maybe someone will enlighten us.
