Both of mine have Button ears. I don't show, so I don't really have a preference. I think they're all cute. I really love some of the old seniors on here with flying (?) ears!
Buddy has button ears, Oscar has one of each and Sophie ears are both button like Buddy.

Rose ears sort of fold themselves backwards and are, I think, more desirable. IMHO, the ears of most pugs seen today are too large to actually meet breed standard. Did you know that in the early 19th century, pugs ears were cropped, like fighting dogs? I our century, the ears of Brussels Griffon and Petit Brabacon (both pug descendants) are still cropped? I have a ceramic figurine dated approx. 1810 of a pug-dog with cropped ears.
Anyone interested in historical stuff and further research into 'breed-fashions' email me at leslieshrs039@gmail.com.
Snifter has rose ears:
Toddy has button ears (which are preferred for show):
Pugabella: Bella has one of each. Her left ear is probably moving due to changes caused by the teething process - you could tape it so that it matches her right ear.
