Your dogs are adorable! Amber is beautiful . Is she losing her puppy teeth yet? If so, teething plays a big part in how pups hold their ears. Then again, sometimes Tollers just have weird ears...I had to tape Tango's when she was a pup, but I didn't do it long enough I don't think because one of her ears is still held strangely even as an adult.
You know what really made me smile looking at those photos? I can't recall the last time I saw a dog wearing a choke collar. Now that really is good progress.
