Do people shave the underside of poodle ears?

Evie gets lots of yeast and ear infections so I have to shave the inside of her ears.
So yes I do. I do not shave around the edges, just the leather.

Depends on the style you want.
My dog is in a german trim with longer shaved ears so he gets a 4fc on the inside and outside of the ear.
For shorter german ears people will shave them in and out with a 30
You usually don't shave the inside of the ear when you do longer styles, though you could if you felt the dog was heavily feathered inside and felt it needed to breathe more and if you didn't go right to the edges.
I always clip out the ear canal as much as possible with a 30-40 blade

I also only shave the canal opening ...........it all depends on how much hair there is. and if there is adequate air flow to the ears to prevent ear infections.
