This is an interesting question, but I am not exactly sure what you mean by extra ear hair.

All of our dogs (granted they have not been in the breeds that fall under the Pit or Bull or Terrier categories) but all of them have experienced what we have called "wild hairs" at one point or another in their lives. Some as puppies and some as oldsters.

One got hair (and still gets) these long wild hairs around the eyebrows periodically. It will stop for long periods and then some will pop out. One got them on her ears--long hairs trailing off the underside of her ear--that was a puppy thing and stopped.

One had crazy hair tufts around around his tush that would happen periodically and eventually went away.

So I think you may be experiencing general wild hair growths. OR it is possible that your pup may have some other breed genes somewhere in the lineage that are popping up in the long hairs.

If the wild hairs are causing an issue (like pain or getting stuck places and becoming a nuisance) you could always trim if nuisance or talk to the vet it it is causing pain.

I hope I am understanding the question ... if not, maybe a photo of what you are seeing would help!!

I wish you and you pups amazing adventures!!

Thank you for your response. I found it very insiteful. I met both of Trinity's parents in person, neither had these whispy ear hairs. Their hair is short and as it should be. Out of ten puppies only my Trinity and her litter mate had this whispy ear hair trait. The rest of the puppies were pretty much carbon copies of their parents. Don't get me wrong, my baby girl looks a lot like her daddy.

It does not make a difference to me if she is crossed with another breed or not. It just puzzled me. I'm so happy I chose her, couldn't of asked for a better friend. Trinity's hairs seem to be getting shorter as she is growing. I guess until she is full grown, I'll just enjoy her wild hair do's.

We have always had rescues, so sadly I have never been able to meet any of my kids or sibling or cousin dogs' parents :( that makes me sad sometimes...I always wonder what their parents looked like and if they had siblings.

Blessings to you and Trinity! Wishing you lots of good hair days and fun adventures!

Some dogs have more hair than others. It is in the dogs best interest to keep it twinned to avoid infection

It looks to me like your puppy is a mix. I am guessing one of the breeds he is mixed with has longer hair on their ears. Cute puppy!
