Ear Gluing
pics and directions submitted by Patti Merkt
Ears: The ears should be set high in the head, the front inner edge
of each ear joining the outline of the skull at the top back corner of skull, so as to place them as wide apart, and as high,
and as far from the eyes as possible. In size they should be small and thin. The shape termed "rose ear" is the most desirable.
The rose ear folds inward at its back lower edge, the upper front edge curving over, outward and backward, showing part of
the inside of the burr. (The ears should not be carried erect or prick-eared or buttoned and should never be cropped). Some
Puppies never have to have there ears glued, but the vast majority will need it around 7-10 weeks.

Ear Wash
article submitted by Susan Somers
This is a recipe for a great ear wash solution we were
given from a few fellow dog show groomers. It is cheap, works well and neutralizes the PH and bacteria that can collect in
the ear canal.
In a squirt bottle mix equal parts of:
50%-Apple Cider Vinegar
50%-Rubbing Alcohol
Pour on to a square cotton pad or directly into the ear canal.
Wipe debris away.
