It's all in the genes, except where companions have a munch on the ears. My Joly has very short ears, though the hair is long, while Teddy almost tripped over his ,as a puppy.
My boys have fairly short and light coats but their ears keep growing. Each year they get a bit longer but they grow slowly. Some on the board have dogs with really long ears who are the same age, or younger than mine! Lily's grow about 1.5 inches a year -- they run about 3 inches over the tips of her ear leather now and were trimmed short when I got her from the pound at end of May 2006. So it is a combination of time and genes basically. My tris have fuller ears than the blenheims.

Also the actual ear leathers - Holly has teeny tiny ear leathers, but her ear feathers grow at an astonishing rate. Amber has very large ear leathers - the breeder told me it was a characteristic of their prefix - but her feathers grow relatively slowly. Which works out to them having more or less the same ear length most of the time.
