Why does that shepard have long hair in its ears (BrentD's pic)? There sure seems to be a great deal of variation in the various bloodlines.
Keeps the bugs out. Really.
But I can't say that is "why" exactly.
As ingwe mentions - she is a Chek shepherd. Quite different than a german German shepherd and even more different than an american German shepherd. There is a lot of blood line variation, but I'm not up on all the details. ingwe probably can fill in better.
