In Dutch it means lop ear and is related to the word lop which in this case means Cut off from a whole; "His head was severed from his body".

http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/lop

Dutch: zachte dravik (lop grass, soft brome, soft bromegrass, soft chess, tender brome grass), slapoor (lop-ear), overvloeier (cross fade, dissolve, fade over, lop dissolve), katteoor (lop-ear), kattenoor (lop-ear), hangoor (lop-ear), flapoor (lop ear), afstaand oor (lop ear). (various references)


I also found ringtones with that name and another dog with that same name: http://home.zonnet.nl/n.houtkoop/Lege%20pagina%203.htm as well as people using it as a handle.
