Haggard or common-looking expression. The nose is pitch black. The ears are rather short and are moderately wide at the base. They are set on top of the head, neither too close to one another nor too wide apart. The ears are traditionally cropped straight across and are thus well carried.
Natural ears are acceptable as along as they are set on, and carried, correctly.
A naturally erect ear does not occur in the purebred Berger de Pyrenees. Ears set on too low. Poor ear carriage. The rather long, well-muscled neck is well set off from the shoulders. Poorly set on.
