Hmmm - this is interesting because I have heard several times over the last
30 years or so
(yes, I heard it as an infant -LOL) that erect ears are a recessive trait.
That theory would help to explain why some dogs need a lot of help to get those
beautiful ears up. I agree about wild canines having erect ears, but
SOMEWHERE hanging ears had to enter the picture -- beagles, bassets, poodles,
etc
etc etc. Anybody have any other ideas? Just curious.
