Lula's ears looked exactly like this... I was using standard puppy shampoo (can't remember the name) but after her 1st trip to the groomer they have been looking great ever since!

My home also has "forced air" for heat and the vet said that can contribute to her dry skin. The vet also recommended not bathing her as much to let her natural oils help out and to use an oatmeal based dog shampoo.

I did reserach online when Lu had this issue and it looked like it could also be ear mites or dust mites so you may want to check out some of those pictures to see if it resembles that.

Well, I got my minksheen and Sophie's coat is soft... but I think it will take a few times to see if it will help her dry ears .... we will see

good deal,, we really like minksheen,, and might try a touch of vitamin E oil on her little ears, just lightly with your finger,, i know how harsh Oklahoma winters can be on skin,, hopefully thats all it is,,
