Why do some dogs have ears so floppy they can’t stick them up or orient them? Just aesthetics or were they bred for something special like listening for ground sounds?

It’s this! I watch my beagles pick up a scent and they push their noses perpendicular to the ground so the ears are almost dragging along side it. I think it helps them track bc it would give them a volume indication of scent versus wind.
