My new scottie has one ear that sticks striaght up and the other is floppy. I was wondering if this was caused from an "ear clipping gone wrong" or if this is normal. It doesnt seam to bother her and isnt sinsitive to the tuch....

The other posters are correct. Scottie ears are never clipped. You didn't say how old your new Scottie is. Pups frequently have one ear up and one flopping down. It'll correct itself as they get older. I've raised Scotties, and shown Scotties, and I don't think I've ever seen a mature Scottie with floppy ears. If yours is young, it's normal. After all, they not born as 100 point dogs, so to speak. Worst case scenario is that the one ear stays kind of flopped over. Big deal! You still have a Scottie, and they are all Terrier with a capital "T" Find a safe place where she can tear around when she's a bit older and you'll see the true Scottie spirit shine thru.
Give her a hug for me. Scotties are all angels.

No, Scotties ears are not clipped. Your dog's ears are wrong from bad breeding, that's all.

If he's still very young his ears will straighten up on their own.
