I've seen it pop up in tramp dogs periodically. this one I had years ago had bat ears...half the time they appeared half-prick, but most often they stood straight up.



I usually expect to see bat ears in smaller dogs...I have some Banjo dogs and they are not uncommon in the smaller ones. Seems like in that case the ear is just not long/heavy enough to fold over...like the cartilage can fully support the the weight of the ear enough to hold it upright. But this fella (above) was a pretty good size with some pretty big ears.
