Well Ward, you are scared alright. Have you ever been bitten by a Pitbull? By ANY dog? Do you know somebody who has been? Most likely not. Try Educating yourself. Responsible Pet ownership is the key to a society that lives in harmony. The Pitbull breeds are gentle and playful dogs. Please take a look at all the thousands of Pitbulls who are severely neglected and abused, starved, beaten and have earned every right to bite, yet they do not. You never hear of these dogs. They suffer and die without their sad stories all over the media. Do a search for Patrick on Google. Educate yourself, your fears will go away. This is a very good article on ears, by the way.

Hello,
Thank you for taking your time to publish this. It has been a great help.
Although I don’t have favourites as such I do like Button Ears on pugs.

@ward yes pitbulls do require a particular handler. A owner who is not in to this breed for fighting or being the toughest guy on the block. They are animal aggressive NOT HUMAN AGGRESSIVE. The owner who beats the dog makes the dog that way. I hate the stigmatism with this breed they are great dogs I leave my to play with my nieces and have no worry at all. Ya they are a powerful brees but are a very loyal breed. Little dogs bite too and everyone clumps any dog the looks like a pit as pit. Thought; how did dog fighters handle their dog amd cleaned his wounds if it was human aggressive. Please everyone stop the witch hunt

My dog has button ears that are a little longer than the Jack. But the thing is they can pop up straight, prick, like the corgi, and each ear can rotate, probably 90 degrees independently. Do corgis’ do that? I saw her standing next to a corgi and both had one ear up–they looked like cousins, although the face is the only part of Lucy that is at all like that breed. I am just trying to get to the bottom of her background, and it seems like the ears are a feature of something unique.

Button ears are the cutest by far. And so are the wire-haired long legged Terriers.
