Well actually, not trimming the ears is EXACTLY the reason I was referring to. Thanks for confirming that. One of the owners of one of our pups never trimmed the dog's ears after it left, she wanted them floppy just like her previous pet and he's strictly that...JUST a pet and that is fine by me. I really don't see why she should be forced to have them that way just for the sake of it? But you would be wrong if you glance at it and said, oh, that's due to genetics.
That was the only point I was trying to make. Someone asked the question 'why do ears flop' and 'genetics' was the only reason I saw given, that's all.
