floppy ears
Pendulous canine feature
Floppy ears are ears that hang down rather than stand erect, characteristic of certain dog breeds like basset hounds, beagles, and cocker spaniels.
The trait results from softer ear cartilage that can't support an upright position: Look at those floppy ears bouncing as she runs.
Floppy-eared animals often appear more docile or endearing than their prick-eared counterparts.
