pinning over the ears does not hurt them at all so that is why i don't mind doing it to mickey. besides, in my personal opinion i like ears when they are flopped over. kai's are really cute too though

Teddy wants to know why he and Huney were not informed there ears were "diffrent"

I think he looks just fine the way he is, besides its easier for them to hear anyways

I think they're cute either way but I like it when the ears flop down. I'm not cruel just because I pin back my dog's ears.

Am I?

No, not at all! I think it's cruel to alter the animal for vanity's sake when it causes pain. If the dog's a puppy and what you're doing causes no pain (like ear taping and gluing, if done right), then go ahead. I'm only against it when the dog is an adult and it wouldn't make a difference, or if it causes unnecessary pain.
And Mickey's cute either way!

lol thanks.

Thanks Kai!

Prima, I didn't see anything wrong with doing the gluing and
taping thing, like you say it doesn't hurt them. In my case
though I ultimately didn't care if Oz's ears were up or down,
so I didn't think it was worth the effort.

Ashlee is Sheltie x Shephard mix and has the Sheltie ears:

Unless she is leaning back or is in the wind

Hehe

It was funny when Mickey's ears unglued awhile back. He had one up and one down. It was cute but then it kept flipping over and ... yeah. We put the glue back on
