You idiot, it's a know fact that 90% of dogs were made by Humans in the last 200 years through genetic selection, to pick desirable traits.

So for the question now, there are two reason why some dogs have pointy ears. 1. The owner cropped the dogs ears, by going to a vet. and asking them to crop the dog's ears. 2. They are naturally born that way, such as most types of terriers.

Could be a fungal infection or simply that it is not the ear that normally faces downward during sleep. Or just one ear producing more wax than the other. A gentle wipe with a cotton bud dampened with a warm, dilute disinfectant will keep it clean.

They do this if they have something irritating them in their ears. This may be a grass seed or may be a mite infestation. Take your dog to the vet for a checkup.

They also shake their heads when you are offering something, and they don't want to eat it, either because they are full, or they do not like it.

a dog can put its ears back for many reasons. My dog dose it when ever I come home. He puts them back, lowers his head, and trots to me with his tail wagging. He dose it as a sign of submission and happiness that I am home, ready for me to pet his head and he doesn't want those big ears in the way. He also dose it durning play with me and other dogs.

another thing it can mean is that the animal is upset and could bite. Watch the rest of the body language closely. And if your not sure just let them be or ask the owner what their dog is felling.

The slits in a dogs ears do not have a function. They are a result of the muscle placement in their ears that allows them to move their ears.

If your horses ears are slightly tilted backwords what does it mean?

When a horse puts both ears backward he is most likely upset or annoyed with something. This doesn't necessarily mean he will do anything bad, but use caution when approaching a horse with his ears back. He may try to kick or even bite if he feels threatened. If you are riding a horse with his ears back, try to calm him down by patting his neck. If just one ear is slanted back, he is probably trying to figure out your riding cues.


If your horse is chucking her head around or putting back her ears does that mean her legs are hurting her or is it just lazyness?

Most people believe that when a horse puts her ears back she is expressing anger or aggression. This is true only some of the time. Other times it may indicate threat she's listening behind her, that she's afraid, or even that she is a little sleepy. When a horse puts her ears back flat to her neck and shows the white of her eyes, she really means it! You will often see horses in groups use this expression with one another. It is a threat, and the threat may be followed up with a bite or sometimes a kick.
