  We often get questions about how to care for poodle ears. Here's a summary of our years of experience with those pesky poodle appendages:

Among breeders and show exhibitors, thinking about how to care for poodle ears has changed.  Instead of regularly pulling hair from our poodles' ears, we now do so relatively rarely (once every few months). Instead, we use a product called Wonder Ear to keep the ears dry and infection-free. Developed by Irish Setter breeders, this product can be found at: http://www.chantillykennels.com/wonderear.htm

  Poodle ears are cureable! Even chronically bad ears can stay clean and healthy with diligent attention.
