Re: [Chihuahuas] question on ears standing up

[Kay Lewis]

You are right, You love them anyways,  However one of the reasons I chose a Chi over a beautiful toy Dashound was because I love the look of those ears.......  I also dont believe it's silly. It is part of the standard of the breed. If breeders and owners don't breed or help a bit with apparance, then the standard is lost, and our beautiful little Chi, might just be beautiful little hound dogs.   I don't condone cropping, ears or tails, on my Dobies, it was done before they were given to me, but if a piece of tape will make a difference to a lazy ear, why ruin the dog's looks.  To me thats about like not allowing a child to have glasses because he has a lazy eye, but you love him anyways.   Besides of which if your paying anywhere from two hundred to five hundred dollars for a pup from championship lines and you ever want to breed it, you not only love it but you do your best to have it looking good.  That little piece of tape doesn't always work, in which case you just love them.  But it doesn't hurt to try.  Medically, dogs with upright ears are not as prone to infections etc, as breeds with droopy ears...... Just my opinion. Kay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My chi's ears do not go up. So what?? You still love him or her right?  Taping the ears is silly. Just accept your little chi the way he or she is.  It's just ears.  It's the inside that counts. " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends! Join today!
