What Shape is Your Dog's Ear?

It seems that every sport, specialty, or interest group eventually
develops its own language to describe the things that are important to
them. The world of dogs is no different.



When they describe
such common things as the shape of a dog's ear, people in the dog fancy
may use terms which are unfamiliar or undecipherable by the average
person.



While most people can visualize in their minds
what might be meant by a prick ear or a drop ear on a dog, they might have much more difficulty visualizing what is meant by a rose ear or a button ear
when it refers to their canine pet.



Take a look at a richly illustrated glossary of dog ear shapes.
