"Floppy Dog"
Does anyone else's doodle "flip-flop" their ears back repeatedly? I can't tell if it is done on purpose, or by accident. When walking, sitting, playing, laying, you name it, FLOP! She has the ability to "flop" them back down, but most times, opts not too. I find myself "flopping" them down for her more times than not, LOL. Anyone else out there got a "floppy dog"?!

Same with Guinness....in his case it seems to happen by accident. I usually don't flop them back, because I think it may be good to let the air get inside his ears. Don't know if that's really true, but it seems logical to me. If he's outside playing and dirt could get into the ears, then I do flop them back.

It's actually very beneficial for the ears to be "flopped" back so the air can get in. Dogs with ears that stand up, like German Shepherds, have far fewer problems with ear infections because of the air circulation. Some people with floppy-earred dogs pull them up with a scrunchie occasionally to let the air get in.

I think Sable's ears are flopped up almost more than they're flopped down so hopefully we won't ahve many ear issues!!

I use to put my English Setters' ears in scrunchies to do just that.

This happens quite a bit to Agnes. It seems to not be happening quite as frequently now that she's a bit bigger. It's a funny phenomenon I guess.
Sable is so cute!

Abby often wears her one ear inside out. She is a big fan of the fashion. When we go for walks I always flip it back because I dont like it inside out (I am afraid from a distance it will look like she is missing an ear! LOL!!)
