Just a few photos of the pups!

Oh! ...look at those ears....I mean...look at those lovely stripes!
(just teasing you. Those are big ears, and I have personally bred my share of those too, so I hope you have a sense of humor)

X'cuse me ma'am, but the big ears that I produced were straight Arras pups. I have been doing a LOT better since. (in the ear department)
Watch your tone dear. I may not be swimming the atlantic, but there are airplanes these days.......

EEEEEARS! I love big ears. So, is that a fault? Should ears be smaller? Please educate.

When they are young their bodies are not yet into the right proportions which makes that there ears look very large compared tot the head aswell as there legs do. After about one and a half years everything seems to be in the right proportion.

Judith - I love Vada's big ears.

Nehhhhhhhhh. Big ears is not a fault. But I think the official DS ear should not be GSD size.
@ Rochelle. Oops...that first pic of Zonya. WOW.
@ Marjolein. Go cook your own blues and please post a pic of Dingo for ear-reference.

Dingo does not have small ears... but hey, here's a pic:


Dingo

Here is one of Ivil, she has rather big ears according to the judges:

Ivil

And Judith, I must admit, I bred some pretty big ones too

Amber

And an example of really neat ears, Ivil's half sister (same mother)

Thanks Marjolein! Neat 'little' ears. All of them.
Mr Nico has a very polite size ear. He spoiled me to the more acceptable size, but I will take any ear, any day, (as long as it is standing) on a good working dog.

right. And you think you can get away with this without showing us Mr. Nico's ears?? Pic please! (Ivo ears will do too )

Thanks for the ear comparison. I see what you mean now. I have always had a deep love for my big eared Dutch Warmbloods, I think I'll like my Dutch dogs the same way!

Talking about ears, I've got something to show to you:

Floor at about 4 months old:


PS
It didn't help her to listen to us properly, that took somemore time.
