Dena here.  What do you use to trim your dog's ear hair?

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, it is in the nature of the cross. 
When you cross, you get the wide infinite posibilities that are present in 
both breeds, smile.  I have seen this with the lab golden crosses GDB is 
using.  I have seen dogs that have lab coat shortness, golden softness, and 
the exact opposite with the dog having a very rough to the touch outer coat 
and soft under coat but with golden length and feathering.  I have seen dogs

that looked lab, dogs that looked golden but with lab coats, and some mixes 
of the two.  Is just the power of the mix.

The poodles that i saw, where trimmed very short, on the body, feet and 
legs, they did have the top knot, and long fur on the ears and the pom pom 
at the end of the tail.

These dogs must be groomed daily, to prevent "felting" of the coat, and they

do get trimmed every six weeks.

The ears are very similar to golden ears in that if you keep them trimmed 
and bentalated then you have no problems, but if you don't keep them trim 
then better watch out.  By the by, I trim my dog's fur myself, and he hasn't

had an ear infection since I kept the hair trimmed in front of and under his

ear flap.

Smile, or so I learned from the The Complete Standard Poodle.

Quite an interesting breed.  In fact in the book, one man uses poodles to 
pull his dog sled.

They have been used  as guides by opractically every guide dog school at one

point or another.

Leader Dogs, GDF, GDB and Pilot Dogs are the ones currently that I am aware 
of that use them.

The Viszla is another short haired low dandroff breed, only bred by 
Southeastern Guide Dogs but very intelligent.  We have a book on them in the

collection.  From what I have read they seem to have a very golden like 
personality.

Standard Poodles were bred to be retreivers and are generally sturdy lot. My
concern with having a Standard Poodle as a guide would be the added expense
of keeping it groomed.  If left alone, the hair will mat and can harbor some
unpleasant odors if not properly groomed.  I also believe they have hair in
their ears which needs to be removed regularly o keep their ears in good
shape.t----- 

I am wondering if the first generation of a poodle with a lab or a golden
would result in non hairy inner ears and a non shedding coat?
