Una de las inquietudes acerca de los Jack Russell es la posición de sus orejas. Según el estándar, las orejas de Jack Russell son semicaídas o caídas hacia adelante tapando el conducto auditivo externo, de buena textura y gran movilidad. Sin embargo, es muy frecuente que a medida que va creciendo, aparezcan pliegues en sus orejas, y éstas se doblen de forma asimétrica. Puede incluso que se vayan levantando hasta quedar totalmente paradas o erguidas.
Para perros jack russell que se presenten a concursos, efectivamente esto sería una falta al ir en contra del estándar. Sin embargo, en nuestro día a día, para nuestro Jack no es perjudicial este levantamiento o pliegue asimétrico de orejas. Así que si éste es vuestro caso, no hay por qué preocuparse.
Por otro lado tenemos la cuestión estética. A nuestro parecer, quedan más bonitas las orejas caídas en forma de V y simétricas, pero a Piñón, nuestro cachorro la oreja izquierda comenzaba a plegarse de forma un tanto extraña, así que decidimos corregírsela mediante el método casero más sencillo e inocuo para él: poner un esparadrapo en el interior de dicha oreja. A continuación os enseñamos cómo lo hemos hecho, porque efectivamente funciona.
