Have just looked at it on line and as I imagined long and narrow. Having long eared dogs it's just one of those things that comes with having them about, a cloth at hand to wipe ears after feeding, a walk, or a drink. I have never taken to wrapping the ears up out of the way (I've even met owners who proudly tell me they peg them) anyway it keeps them clean by giving them a wipe. As for the water bowl I raise it on newspapers and have yet to meet a Basset that doesn't inhale food or anything else.
