Prick ears, known by several names such as erect ears or perked ears, are a type of ear.
As the name(s) implies, the ear is "pricked" or "erect", tapering at a pointed end. They are always upwards pointing and upright. These ears are traditionally seen on wolfish looking dog breeds as well as various canids.
