| Interesting News Okay, so I took Romeo to the vet today for the first time. The vet comes in and wanted to know why Romeo's ears are bald? So replied, "The breeder told me to shave them at the tip so the hair doesnt weigh them down and they will stand." He says, "It doesnt matter what you do to romeo's ears, shave them, tape them, etc.) None of this helps. His ears will stand when they are ready and not a minute sooner. He said the shaving and taping this is a myth! Interesting info. I thought. Romeo was really please to her this |

| Really? The breeder that Bodhi came from said that taping helps train the ear muscles. He didn't think that it would be necessary as Bodhi's ears are very perky. He did show me how to tape them with 1/2" first aid tape if the weight of the hair brought them down a bit. No mention of shaving them. But now that I think about it, trimming or thinning the hair on the tips may reduce weight. Just thoughts, heh. Will see how it goes. Bodhi's only 13 weeks. |
