AKC STANDARD: The ears
thin, small, soft, like black velvet. There are two kinds - the
"rose" and the "button". Preference is given to the latter.
Clarification: The ears should be set wide on the
head. The fold of the button ear is level with the top of the skull. When
alert, the ear should not drop below the corner of the eye. The rose ear
in the Pug appears smaller and is folded with the front edge against theside
of the head.(The inner burr should not show as it does in the Bulldog).
Flying button ears are not rose ears. The rose ear is small and neat, and
tends to give the head a smaller, more rounded look. The size and
shape of the ear should be in balance with the overall size and shape of
the head. Both ears should be of the same type. Ears must be black
.
Undesirable: Flying button ears; light colored ears; ears
set too high or too low; ears too thick or too large.
