What dog breeds have big ears? An introduction to big-eared dog breeds
I do not know whether you have ever carefully observed a dog's ears; their shapes really are endlessly varied, and they differ in size, length, position on the head, and even in the way they droop, which is very interesting. So which dog breeds have big ears? Here is an introduction for you:
1. Which dog breeds have big ears
1. Dachshund
The ears are erect, not too far forward. Long enough, but not exaggerated in appearance. Round, not narrow, with pointed tips or folds. Flexible, close to the front edge of the cheeks.
2. Rhodesian Ridgeback
Set slightly high, medium in size, slightly wide at the base, tapering gradually, with rounded tips. The ears hang down, close to the head.
3. Bloodhound
The ears are thin and soft, extremely long, set very low, folding and hanging gracefully, with the ends curling inward and backward, 30.5 cm or a little more, and for bitches 27.9 cm or a little more.
4. Basset Hound
Also known as the French short-legged hound, with a height of 30-48 cm and a weight of 21-25 kg. It originated in France and is said to have descended from the Egyptian Greyhound. This dog has a hard, smooth, short coat, elastic skin, and a hound coloration made up of black, tan, and white in a tricolor coat. It has a long body and short legs, large and long drooping ears, and a very keen sense of smell. It was originally trained specifically to catch wild rabbits, pheasants, and the like. Although its legs are short, its keen sense of smell and long endurance still make it a good hand at chasing prey.
5. Pointer
It is the oldest breed among bird-hunting dogs, with a history of several thousand years. It is used to find game and to notify the hunter of the game's location. The exact characteristics differ by type, but all types share one thing in common: as soon as it finds game, it raises its tail and one front leg, with the tip of its nose thrust forward, to notify the hunter of the game's location. This is the unchanging action of the Pointer since ancient times.
The above is an introduction to some dog breeds with big ears.
