Corgi Ear Styles—which one is most popular with the ladies?

by Meg on June 20, 2009

These corgi pups are wearing different ear styles to see which one gets the most atten-shons.

First there’s Ears Upright (on the left). On the right, we have Ears Down.

But EARS SIDEWAYS always wins.

OMG CORGYN!!!! CANNOT EXPRESS THE LEVEL OF CUTENESS!!!!
If I *EVAR* got a dog, it would most likely be a Corgi.
And yes, the sideways-ears ALWAYS take it!
Oh, and also (whispers) :D

stinking cute!!!

3 Ginger 06.20.09 at 3:30 pm

Ahn! They’re so cute! *head esplodes*

4 Mary Beth (Cats, Books, Life is Good) 06.20.09 at 3:31 pm

I will take them all!

5 Bryn Greenwood 06.20.09 at 3:45 pm

Hair up, glasses off
No, no. Hair up, glasses on.
No, wait, wait. Hair down, glasses off.
No…

6 Micki 06.20.09 at 3:45 pm

neither wins!

the winner is one ear up, one ear down!

7 CoconutCheez 06.20.09 at 4:14 pm

@Miki: agreed!! :D

but all three pups (i assume they r diff?) r all very adorable :D

8 JudyB 06.20.09 at 4:15 pm

I think there an inseparable trio like those monkeys that see, hear and speak no evil.

9 dub1 06.20.09 at 4:16 pm

Designer pandas, now in beige!

10 LizzyCat 06.20.09 at 4:22 pm

Eeeks! Yoda dogs and their fat lil’ paws!

11 dylanimore 06.20.09 at 4:23 pm

Sideways is the cutest, obv! :3

12 balamuthia 06.20.09 at 4:23 pm

ears up, all the way!

13 TracyFlick 06.20.09 at 4:31 pm

you know i gotta say the ears down does it for me – why? does it look weaker? i am like noooo it’s gonna be okay. :) heartstring puller!

14 kittyadventures 06.20.09 at 4:35 pm

I like the ears down but ya know sideways is really cute too and um well so is up … hmmm I can not decide!!!!

15 anner 06.20.09 at 4:43 pm

Micki, you beat me to it! But let’s face it, corgi pups are totally prosh no matter what style they’re sporting.

16 Sasha 06.20.09 at 4:45 pm

I’m a sucker for ears down. ^o^

17 danielie 06.20.09 at 5:18 pm

Ears down for me. :) It just screams. “I’m cute. Hug me. You know you want to.”

18 berthaservant 06.20.09 at 5:34 pm

If any one of these did a “baroo” they would win the competish hands down. Or earflaps down…

19 Ruth 06.20.09 at 5:48 pm

Dear Lord, I’m a corgi junkie and 2 bebehs, OMG. I’m going into shock from cuteoverload !

20 Amber 06.20.09 at 5:48 pm

I prefer the ears up look

21 Theresa 06.20.09 at 6:14 pm

I’ll take one of each. Katrina, are you seeing this?

22 jen 06.20.09 at 6:29 pm

Corgilicious!

23 DaytimeDeb 06.20.09 at 6:32 pm

Another vote for one up, one down.
Although bebehs, just learning to walk, with ears still down, are cuteness defined.

24 Mishele 06.20.09 at 6:44 pm

We call the halfway down ones “airplane ears” when our cats do it; that’s my favorite.

25 Paunchie 06.20.09 at 6:45 pm

*splode*!!

26 Niki 06.20.09 at 7:08 pm

Corgiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!

My dearly departed Sassy II was a husky-corgi mix, so I may be biased…

Hey, you know, my black-lab – blue heeler mix puppy (Sassy III) needs a new baby sister… ;)

27 Jen 06.20.09 at 7:19 pm

Up!

28 Pheas 06.20.09 at 7:21 pm

Too many flavors — cannot decide!

29 Marjorie 06.20.09 at 7:33 pm

CORGYN!!!!!!! I love them!

30 Patito Gigante 06.20.09 at 7:38 pm

I take mine one-ear-up, one-ear-down– like my collar in the ’80s.

31 gail the second 06.20.09 at 7:39 pm

I like the ears down option. For me, ears down wins paws down. It’s just so cyuuuute!

32 luvpuppehs 06.20.09 at 7:42 pm

Ears up, roll up, roll up! They’re all cute.

33 kittehgrl 06.20.09 at 7:47 pm

:lol: -The one up one down is really cute.

34 Jessica 06.20.09 at 8:12 pm

Ears up for sure, but 99% of corgis and other upright eared dogs will not continue to have folded ears after about 14 weeks, so uh, ears up wins always and forever :)

35 Lalaith 06.20.09 at 9:07 pm

Ears up for me. Or, alternatively, one of each. Or, alternatively to the alternative, ears down. I love them all!!

36 Lalaith 06.20.09 at 9:08 pm

Goodness!! I forgot ears sideways!!! That would be an alternative to the alternative to the alternative.

37 Rachel 06.20.09 at 9:19 pm

I prefer one ear up, one ear flopped over. My friend has a boxer lab mix and they sit like that sometimes, she looks like a cartoon.

38 clairita 06.20.09 at 9:21 pm

i’ll take one of each, please!

39 Kodalai 06.20.09 at 9:51 pm

They are all so cute, but I have to say ears up wins for me!

40 the bug man 06.20.09 at 10:00 pm

What ears? There are no ears left. No ears at all.

I nommed them CLEAN OFF.

41 Caillean 06.20.09 at 10:27 pm

Upright! Upright! It’s the perfect balance to the tiny nommable legs! They are about the same size!

42 J. Bo 06.21.09 at 2:33 am

I’m just wondering how many ears-akimbo corgi pups I can stuff into my mouth before I’m suffocated by the cuteness.

Let’s start with TEN and see how it goes…

43 Katrina 06.21.09 at 6:42 am

Now, Abbey (Peep name, Killer) has glorious stickey-uppey ears and a sumptuous tail.

And, remember the shedding episode just about this time last year? Well, I knit, and no, I’m not saving the puppeh’s fur, but we are looking at a three piece suit.
Or, (wait for it), an afghan. *snicker, snickety-snicker*

Be aware that some Corgi’s don’t play well with others, as you are considering a sibling for an already existing companion animal, ok? Mine goes for the throat

The leggies stay nommable, by the way.

44 Amy 06.21.09 at 7:46 am

Yep, I’m casting my vote for one ear up, one ear down. Not to say that the puppy with the sticky-outtie-ears isn’t totally adorable!

45 T.U.M. 06.21.09 at 8:09 am

My BFF’s terrier-mutt-dog has a permanent one-up-one-down style, and it’s heart-stoppingly cute.

46 Katrina 06.21.09 at 8:12 am

It has been said before, but I love my Peeps! Just thought you should be told again. “sticky-outtie-ears” is such a wonderful thing to say (and read), thanks, Amy.

We just got a $500 donation to the orchestra’s Summer program! Happy, happy day! Anner- $500! Please, Peeps, join me in a big ol’ fashioned YAY! Thank you!

47 valerie 06.21.09 at 9:55 am

no way! ears down totally wins!!!!

48 cafegrrl 06.21.09 at 10:40 am

49 octopusraptor 06.21.09 at 11:16 am

50 Froggy 06.21.09 at 12:11 pm

I like all three.

51 alice 06.21.09 at 1:40 pm

False choice. They’d both come home with me.

52 Rio 06.21.09 at 3:53 pm

I flipping love Corgis! Huge ears, little stumpy legs. Perfecto! I’ll take ears up, please. :D

53 animal luvr 06.21.09 at 4:13 pm

55 anastasia 06.21.09 at 6:47 pm

56 online virtual world for kids 06.21.09 at 9:05 pm

Love both! But the one with ears standing looks more corgi-ish to me. But they are both so cute no one can make a choice! lol.

57 free hidden object games 06.21.09 at 9:11 pm

I didn’t see much corgis with drooping ears in my country. Don’t see much online too. They are cute. *love*

58 hon glad 06.21.09 at 11:17 pm

Ears up for me.

59 Katrina 06.22.09 at 6:45 am

Thank you for my Official Yay!

[As... you... wish... - Ed.]

60 Maribeth 06.22.09 at 7:38 am

Ears down Corgi is just waiting for the magic moment when those ears…..LEVITATE!!!! All three of those puppers are stinking cute and my two Corgis are still utterly adorably at 13 and 14. Both have up ears, but one has silky ups and one has plushy ups. All those ears are good, very good.

61 Kristabelle 06.22.09 at 9:25 am

These guys are just tooooo cute!!

62 Rapwnzel 06.22.09 at 12:05 pm

I want!!!

63 Subhangi 06.22.09 at 10:41 pm

Sideways ears all the way!!!

*snorgle*

64 Katrina 06.23.09 at 7:34 am

A friend came over last night and we watched the movie “Bolt” (Excellent movie for all ages). As she and I were having tea, Killer was sitting at the top of the stairway in full view, ears at 3 and 6, then up, then relaxed again, her tongue peeking out, her paws beautifully posed beneath her. My friend stared for 20 seconds and said- “Abbey is the cutest dog-look at her,” (etc.) and I realized that I have the cutest breed of dog and perhaps that if more people had Corgyn the word would be a better and safer place. Abey was waiting at the top of the stairs boofing (her indoor bark) and telling me it was time to go to bed. I just thought you should know that. Cute. Thank you, Abbey-girl.

65 anner 06.23.09 at 9:38 am

“Boofing!” Taffy and Bethany used to do that too! It’s the one that they do when the know they’re not supposed to bark, but their little instincts just wont allow them to do otherwise. And yes, corgyn are the secret to world peace.

Congrats on the donation, Katrina!

66 smiles 06.25.09 at 10:19 pm

*SQUEEEEELLLLLS* So adorable! One of my good friends has a corgi and it’s so cute.

67 imcool 06.27.09 at 9:19 am

I have a corgi too, but not that cute! *is he for sale?* lol!
