If you feel the tips of flop ear dogs, it's like there's nothing there, just skin. But with the Artctic type dogs, their ears (tips & all) are thicker because they have more cartilage in there. Im no scientist but maybe that helps their ears withstand the cold more??? The cartilage is thicker, thus offering a bit more resistance to cold? Jamie, i wouldn't worry about it. Left outside for extended periods of time might be a problem. But heck, even the tips of my ears are freezing when Tucker and I are done our walk. Don't complain....TRAIN!!!
