Dog Anatomy Question

[lv4dogs]

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.

Oh I forgot to add, don't know if this matters or not but my cats and ferrets have them too.
I *think* I recall seeing them on my rats, hamsters, etc.... too.

Knew this picture of Tobey's ear would be useful one day!!

Those ear photos of "flaps" are really funny. I need to take a good photo of Ginger's - as she also has a very distinctive one. I noticed it sometime when she was a pup. I never noticed these before and like alot of you had mentioned - it is really weird when you first discover them. Also, someone described it as an "ear in an ear" - I like that, as it sort of describes it really well!

My father owns Ginger's brother (littermate) and I checked his dog and not surprisingly, he had the same anatomically identical flap! Do do.. do doo.. do do... COINCIDENCE - I DON"T THINK SO [fade to scary music]

Hey, yeah, now that you mention it, cats DO have them, too!

I thought all dogs had that. All three of mine do.

I have a sheltie and he has that ear fold thing as well...kind of hard to find with all the fur though
