Her ears back... Empty Her ears back...

Does anyone have any idea why Honey puts her ears back. I have read a lot about this and some say its fear, stress, or her calming herself. She does this when chewing on her bones, playing and being snuggled. Is this a staffy thing?

Rocky will often put his ears back too, it could mean a number of things, like he has heard something off in the distance.

It can mean any number of things depending on what other body language is being displayed. yes they do do it when they are being submissive and they will generally drop the head forward and down and lower the body. both mine will also do it when its windy and when chewing something with determination.

I put banes in his crate for his own safety. It's always open for him and he takes himself in there too. It's his little safe haven.
