Labradors are considered helping dogs, (hiking Mountain Biking) so their floppy ears believe it or not actually help them hear better..... if danger or anything is coming near or if someone were to be attacked they would be able to hear it coming
They have floppy ears because for warmth and keep flies away.
Its there floppy ears
No
Because Santa put a spell on you and you turned into an elf! You have to make toys! my cat has pointy ears! He is an undercover elf! //////when dogs are puppies they usually have floppy ears but as they mature depending on the breed the ears will stand up and become pointy
German Shepherd's are born with naturally floppy ears as their cartilage in their ears has not yet developed enough to support them. Most German Shepherd's ears will stand up eventually, all though there are sometimes Dogs that retain their floppy ears. The vast majority, however, will have erect ears in time.
Actually, you can't change where the ribbon goes on your dog. It is already set in the game: dogs with floppy ears have ribbons tied to their ears, while dogs with pointy ears wear ribbons as bows on their neck.
No it is recessive if you notice most of the dogs ancestors like the wolf or the coyote there ears stick straight up.
it's a possible only as a theory. My opion is no, if a German Shepperd got bitten on the ear then maybe THAT ear could be floppy but not the other ear. No dog would have floppy ears because it's scared.
Not all domestic dogs have floppy ears that go down. Many domestic dogs including retreivers (Golden, labrador, duck-tolling and flat-coated retreivers) and some species of wiener dog (also called a dashund) have long floppy ears. But some other domestic dogs including huskies and german sheperds have ears that are pointed and go right up like a cat's.
no
You can't make a dog's ears floppy if they are supposed to be pointed because their ears, like ours, do contain bones that make the shape of them. True, a dog's ears can't change from points to floppy, but you can change the next generation of dog's ears by breeding the pointed-ear dog with a floppy-ear dog.
The cropping (cutting) of dogs ears was originally done to prevent working dogs (the dog breeds that ear cropping is most commonly done to) from being bitten by rodents on the dogs floppy ears, which could cause infection. Most woking dogs still have their ears cropped even if they are not going to be used for work because it has become the "look" of the dog's breed.
Dogs have yeast in their ears because it is a warm and moist environment and that is where yeast likes to grow. Dogs with floppy ears are more likely to have it becausse their is less airflow to the ears
