The Matter of Ears:

Papillons with a "soft ear", or "broken ear" may be sometimes shown as a "Phalene".

The too soft tissue on a Papillons is a serious fault in the breed, and it should not be confused with a true Phalene, the drop ear variety of a Papillon.
The photos show a true Papillon (Walzing Mathilda vom Cavalierchen, owned by Road's End),  and a true Phalene(Pixidust Independence Day-owned by Angie Hindeman)
