This is a good idea except that as far as I could see, every dog entered at Progressive had their ears leveled off. It is a difficult call as I know I had one of my own males who always had leveled off ears, probably due to dragging them along the concrete and through hill and dale in my back yard. I know I did not cut them and they were not chewed, but I had a terrible time getting his ears to grow past a certain length. They looked leveled off and they clearly were -- but not by scissors!! Interestingly, the rest of them do not have this problem and they run in the same area. Anne
