My feeling is they shouldn't be covered because they do not threaten the dog's health and well-being...only it's look. That would be like giving a guarantee on the type of coat the dog will have as an adult. You say because it's genetic? Every aspect of a dog is genetic. Every physical characteristic that a dog developes is due to genetics. There should never be a reason to blame the breeder (if he/she is a GOOD breeder) because as the potential owner, you should take responsibility for learning the aspects and characteristics of a dog you plan to breed. If ears concern you that much, look for a dog that is older--to a point that if the ears are ever going to stand up, they are doing so. Of course you don't get a young puppy, but how are you supposed to be able to tell what the dog will physically look like when it gets older? Would you blame the breeder if the dog didn't have the coat coloring you wanted as an adult? I would hope not. To me, it is along the same line.
