Not needing advice but just wanted to say I have just spent half an hour detangling my Cocker spaniel pup who somehow managed to get one of those thin round hairbrushes tangled in his ears. He had managed to get both ears caught up in it so it was kind of on the top of his head with the fur of both his long curly ears tightly wound up ! I have painstakingly pulled individual strands of hair out one by one to release his ears !! Goodness knows where he found it !
We are seeing the funny side of it now but it was terribly alarming at first !! Let it be a warning to you all !

I applaud you for getting him to sit still long enough to have them detangled! Mine wouldn't have done that even for a peanut butter kong

Yep, spaniel ears look utterly gorgeous but are a pain to keep tidy.
Poor pup with the hairbrush, but I bet he looked really cute with a top knot
I have to work very hard to make sure our springer doesn't get knots in the back of his ears. I usually work at them while he's asleep otherwise he tries to eat the brush.
