Floppy Ear Dog Names

Introduction

Oh, those billowy and flowy long ears and how we love them so much! Luckily, there are many breeds that have this lovely characteristic. For ear-loving people, there are hounds, spaniels, setters, and others that are choices for many. Long-eared breeds are generally loving and gentle, and you will enjoy stroking their soft, velvety ears. With long-eared dogs, though, there are some consideration owners must take to keep the ears clean and dry inside. Your veterinarian will recommend an ear-cleaning solution to use to keep them this way. This can help prevent infections. Also, remember, since the ears are long, it is important to lift them up and take a look inside for any mites or dirt.

Floppy Ear Dog Names in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Floppy Ear Dog

Droopy

If you are a fan of classic cartoon and animation, chances are you have seen Droopy. Droopy was created by the famous Tex Avery in 1943. When you think of a long-eared dog, Droopy may come to your mind as he is a classic Basset Hound with all of the characteristics. He is slow moving, expressionless, at times witty, and he bays with his head thrown back. He has a droopy face and a monotone voice. There are times, however, when he does show emotion and his strength, especially with his adversaries. Although the Droopy series ended in 1958, he was still featured or made appearances in other cartoons, such as Tom and Jerry.

Another famous dog with floppy ears was Fred in Smokey and the Bandit. Fred was Snowman's Basset Hound (Snowman was the truck driver played by Jerry Reed) and was chosen specifically by Burt Reynolds (the star of the movie) because he knew he was stubborn and would not really listen to commands. The thing with Fred is that he would appear on screen, whether in or out of the big rig, and his appearance and actions would make people laugh. Fred was a classic Basset Hound, with the long ears and droopy face and boy was he stubborn! Just watching him ride in the passenger seat of Snowman's rig as he was doing a bootlegging mission was hilarious.

When you think of floppy-eared dogs, you may also think of Lady from Lady and the Tramp. Lady was a very long-eared Cocker Spaniel who lived with a nice family. She is considered a posh, upper-class dog. She eventually comes into contact with a dog who is a stray. She knew he was very out of her league, but she begins to be friends with this dog, known as the Tramp. They eventually fall in love after going through many adventures together.

Lou in the movie Cats and Dogs is a floppy-eared Beagle. The movie is about a scientist who is trying to create a formula to cure dog allergies. The cats are trying to sabotage the experiment and steal the formula, and the dogs are trying to stop them. There is one "main" cat, Mr. Tinkles, who wants every human on the planet to be allergic to dogs so cats can take over the world! They once said cats and dogs cannot get along, and this movie is definitely a war between the two species!

Floppy Ear Dog Name Considerations

If you are thinking about acquiring a long-eared pup, congratulations to you! These dogs are very easy on the eyes and they are so fun to watch them in their daily lives as their "ears hang low". There are many name considerations for these furry friends, such as Floppy, Dumbo, and Bugs for a male. For a female, you may consider Amelia (after Amelia Earhart), Velvet, or Silky.

You may also consider naming your dog by just looking at his face and droopy ears on the side. Names that may fit are Marmaduke, Eeyore, Beuford, or Droopy. Long-eared breeds tend to have a friendly personality, so you may wish to consider a dog name that fits this characteristic.

Your long-eared dog may be so special that they have another characteristic that you wish to point out in a name. Either way, by spending a few days with your droopy-eared companion, the perfect name will come to you. You can ask family and friends to suggest names as well. Making it a fun event will make it very special for everyone involved in your dog's life. Also, a human-name will be just as good for your family member, such as Susie, Maggie, or Fran for a female and Bo, Hank, or Demont for a male. Good luck and enjoy those ears!
