I think the ears are adorable! Miles has HUGE ears for his size, and I think they're perfect. People comment on them all the time--almost always they're postivie comments. But I've heard a couple rude comments as well. My favorite was right here on YT...someone said that my dog was "really cute despite his ears". DESPITE?????? GRRRRRRR!!!!!

I had to have all her teeth pulled and her tongue always hung out. Most of the comments were positive, Oh what a cute dog, Oh that tongue is to die for, She is so adorable with her tongue out like that, etc. But occasionally I'd get an ugly comment, from people who don't even know me. I'd just give them a questioning look and ask why would you say that out loud about someone else's dog? Do you know why her tongue has to hang out? And then proceed to tell them that she lived in a wire cage only big enough to turn around in for 5 years. Never touch grass or had any other interaction with dogs or humans. That usually shut them up PDQ! And I always kept a calm manner and didn't attack them. Never once did anyone answer back with another comment. Usually they'd just say they were sorry, they didn't mean to say anything bad. My parting comment would be, if you don't mean anything bad, then don't say anything bad.

I find the best thing to say when people are clueless like that is to calmly ask them, Why would you say that? It nearly always shuts them up.
