confused about hair in the ears

[whispersmom2]

I don't pluck . What do is , I use one of those nosehair electric shavers? I trim it down and keep it pretty clear.Cookie's ears are cleaner than mine. I swear everytime I clean his ears ,the Q-tips come out white. Now Mimi is another story ! lol Her ears get a little bit dirty and clean them with Q-tips as well.

Buddy has a mass of hair inside his ear, is the inside of his ear supposed to be completely clear of hair?
Also where i live most of his walks are through woods and fields and he's constantly covered in seedy grass head bits, that i have to sit and pick out of him (not as bad as it sounds its quite theraputic! ) but i'm worried that if he had no hair inside his ears to 'catch' any grass seeds, wouldnt they just go straight down deeper into his ear and cause more problems?

Yeah its supposed to be plucked out. I didnt know either and my baby chloe got a bad ear infection You can have a groomer do it unless your brave enough to do it yourself. CHloe screamed but supposedly they get used to it a little more after time. Regardless, it still needs to get done wether they like it or not.
