.........why don't you wait until you talk to the groomer - I'm sure they can
give you many tips. It may not be the hair that is causing the itching -
did you take her to the vet after you got her?

Bless you for taking this pup.

Absolutely, talk with the groomer. A good groomer could be a great source
of information for you on this subject.

I know that if I don't keep the hairs pulled from my miniature schnauzers'
ears, they get irritated. The dogs are groomed every six or seven weeks but
the ear hairs need to be pulled at least twice that often. If we don't keep
the hair cleaned out, moisture builds up and they get a fungus. (If it gets
too bad, you can smell it when you sniff the ears.) You would think with
cropped ears that it wouldn't be necessary (unlike my previous beagles and
their drop ears) but it's an ongoing thing to keep the hairs pulled and the
air circulating.

I am a dog groomer...my advice for any breed crossed with cocker spaniel is
to make sure and pluck all the hair out of the ears and clean them on a
regular basis. Like once a week. If you cannot do this yourself have a
groomer do it. Cocker spaniels are very prone to ear problems and
infections. the cost and time of doing this on a regular basis far outweighs
the cost and time if they get ear infections. Usually once they start, they
will reoccur again and again.

Which part do you think is Cocker Spaniel - the Shih (as in Tzu) or the
Poo (as in Poodle)?
