From the Poodle Standard:
Ears-- hanging close to the head, set at or slightly below eye level. The ear leather is long, wide and thickly feathered; however, the ear fringe should not be of excessive length.
I would say that this dog actually has very good ear leathers. It is just that breeders don't pay much attention to this part of the standard because they can grow the ear hair long to hide a short leather (judges rarely check ear length). This dog looks funny to us because most people are not used to seeing correct ear leathers.
