Ears

Lol, I’ve heard that old tale in reference to ear length correlating to how cold their nose is. I’ve had similar experiences as you regarding that Cajun. What I was talking about with ears helping was when trying to move a track that’s cold or in dry ground. I’m one that thinks that the long ear might help flush a little scent when an old dog has his head down grinding slow. The blood hounds for example have all the loose hide that almost looks like rolls or wrinkles when their head is down. They also drool a lot. It’s said that these wet folds collect scent and that the long ears flush the scent up so that it can collect there. It’s one more tool to help the already extremely cold nosed hounds. Like I say, that’s just something I always felt was an extra tool but definitely doesn’t have anything to do with how cold a nose a dog has. I’m a little more drawn to hounds so that could be part of the reason I prefer more ear too.
