Ears- up or down? We have our little Spicy and he is a doll! Right now his ears are floppy. I see by most of your pictures that most of you are training the ears to go up. I know that is a must for a show dog but we aren't going to show Spicy. He is just our baby. :) Any benefits for the ears going either way? If we want to make them go up, when do we start that? Is it too late? He is 10 weeks old now. He isn't a tiny- will be about 10 lbs fully grown if that makes a difference in appearance. Suggestions and pictures would be apprecaited. Thanks. :) |
Just checking in to see if anyone had offerend input. |
There was a post in here about a week or so ago about this. Go to search & type in ears, you might find it there. Most people will start taping right away. With there ears floppy, less air gets in retaining moisture. Causing more ear infections. I know with Misha my maltese had a lot of ear infection the 1st 6 months. |
Really? I was thinking that his ears down meant they would be more protected. I'm glad I decided to research it further. Thanks! |
My 13 lb yorkie has floppy ears and she has never had an ear infection. She is 3 yrs old and has never had any ear problems at all. She has really thick cottony hair and no way would those little ears stand up. We love her ears floppy, they are really cute. I used to have 2 Lhasa Apso's that got ear infections. One of them seemed like she always had an ear infection going on. I guess it just depends on the dog, I really don't know why. |
