Dog Anatomy Question

That's very funny. Everyone is running to check their dog's ears. I got another input from another source: A lady who heads up a Beagle Rescue Club told me that, Yes - all beagles have them. She wasn't sure if and how many other breeds may as well. She also says that she even suses this trait to identify a supposed purebred. If she receives a new rescue and it doesn't have this flap, she generally classifys it as a mix. FOR WHATEVER'S IT's WORTH!

All of my girls have them

I've noticed it before, and wondered what the point is.

Every dog I've ever owned has had those as far as I know (not sure if Winston does, as he's cropped) but the others all do.

...sounds like the jury is in. Seems like most, if not all dogs have these and my info is bad. Oh well, down goes another urban myth!!!!

Zeke has something like this I think...

It's a bad photo...his ears stand up right. I don't know what he is mixed with, but I don't think he has any hound?

My other dog, Josie (lab) doesn't have this.

ALL 3 of mine have them, I know for sure Kaige & Raustyk have no hound in them, I am not 100% sure with Nanook as he is a rescued mix too but I would bet money on it that he has no hound in him.

Autumn's are very big. She's a toller. It runs almost the entire lenght of her ear and a good inch in. I always wondered about them. Pepper, our cocker, didn't have them.
