As a golden retriever has quite large and floppy ears, they aren't as expressive as
the ears of some breeds, but they do still show emotion.
The ears of this breed are on the large side, set high on the head, erect and wide at the base tapering to a point and are tufted.
The ears of this breed hang low and close to the face.
The ears of this breed should be cleaned on a regular basis, as this breed is prone to painful ears or ear infections.
The Bloodhound does remarkably well around children and can be very tolerant, however
the ears of this breed are sensitive so supervision is necessary.
Eyes and
ears of this breed should be checked on a frequent basis to prevent the onset of eye problems and ear infections.
It is important to handle
the ears of this breed carefully because wrong handling can damage the cartilage of their ears.
