Lab ear positions are so expressive of their feelings. One is the penetent ears and nobody does them better than Bruno. Here he is hiding behind the sofa after he was caught with a dish that Judy had pulled off the table. He was just an accomplice.

 

[Snowflake]

That is so funny.....so "unBrunoish" looking.

Sally and Spud have that look down pat also. Hoppy never realizes he does anything wrong. He lives in la-la land.

Whatever Abbey is mixed with gives her sooo much control over her ears. When she is in trouble, she puts them wayyy back and gives me that sad puppy face. Gets me every time!

 

[MNLab]

Haha, guilty-dog face, my favorite!

 

[georgie]

I know that look & those ears. Of course my girls do that ear thing when I get the camera out too.

 

[patm]

Aren't they a hoot!

 

[fanny&eddiesmom]

Hah! Fanny does that when she is feeling neglected!

 

[Clanceycanuck]

Yeah - you can tell Clancey's moods by his ears.

 

[Rushpuppy]

Rush is real expressive with her ears. One look from me and she'll get that ear back, beaten dog look, even if I'm angry with Boo or Twiggy. She feels their pain lol

 

[Mocha]

This isn't the greatest picture, but this is the look that she usually gives me when she has been caught eating cat food or getting in the neighbors trash!

 

[Slappy McCracken]

Oh, I recognize that look! Cooper does that if he happens to get startled by one of us & barks - then immediately cups his ears when he realizes his error. I think it's a toss up as to whether the cupped ears are an expression of embarrassment or a Lab's way of expressing "I'm sorry"!!!

Bev.

 

[Kate3jays]

I get that look when I ask "Who's done this?"

 

[Samson]

Samson - God rest his soul - would ALWAYS put his ears back submissively when I wanted to take a photograph ! I rarely got an ears forward alert shot from him except when he was talking to the cats

 

[Bob Pr.]

This is Puff's ear position when she's expressing affection to me.

 

[BigBrownDog]

My Dutch Shepherd had a very peculiar ear position very much like the Flying Nun's hat. When she was really thrilled about something that is how she posed those usually tall, upright ears. I never saw another dog do this - they were folded in half and then angled back - sort of like Origami.

I don't have a picture of this since the camera inspired the opposite of "thrill" in her.

 

[Baloo317]

Baloo does that in greeting. He doesn't have a guilty look, when I catch him being bad he smirks at me and wags his tail. (oh yes, smirks. Believe it.)

Here's a video of him doing the cupped ear thing:
