I love floppy ears so much I semi fought it out with Princess' breeder to not crop her ears, despite ruining her show potential.
Well I take it back now, deapite ear plucking and excessive cleaning my poor mini schnauzer gets chronic yeast infections.
Finally a total dietary change gas stopped them.
Scoobers ears are the reason I love floppies, however his are erect at the base and the very ends flop down...maybe because he is a Schnorkie, mini schnauzer yorkie hybrid...he has the yorkie base but mini schnauzer tips. However Scoobers has a significant amount of scar tissue in his ears from a massive infection, this may be what actually errects his ears.
Elvis' ears go up and down...if shaved they stay up quite a bit more but with hair they stick out and flop over.
Do I like the look if floppy ears...yes.. now knowing the cleanibess and health issues of them, the look has lost it's appeal. |
