I love dogs with floppy ears, but if I remember correctly, the shape of ears redirects sonic waves into the ear canal and while I can imagine that if I look at a wolf or a German Shepherd, I’m confused how that works for dogs with floppy ears – or *do* they hear worse than dogs with more “classic” ear shapes?

They do hear worse, but still well enough to be a dog. Being a pet just doesn’t demand much out of a dog’s ability to hear.
You won’t see floppy ears on wild dogs because they gotta be good at hearing.
