| Floppy Ear Baby.... Well Mi went to the Groomer yesterday for her first groom .. I had to work a night shift last night so by the time i got home MI had already rip out her bows and Laura didn't take no pics for me .. Well i noticed she looked all nice a trimed and she wa oh so kute and smalled just lovely.. But i noticed her ears have not been trimed down like i ask.. I ask Laura why they didn't shave down her ears and she said the Groomer told her that her ears are to big that she is going to have floppy ears and that if she would have shaved them she would look funny ... Is this true? Will my babies ears never stand up? are they really to big? |

| Groomers are no expert on dog ears and what they are going to do. I would shave and tape them. Many people have got them up that way

| Maggie's ears stand straight up and have since about 5 or 6 months of age (she's 3 now). However, Max is almost 6 months and has floppy ears. I really don't think they'll ever stand up as they are big, haha. In all honesty, I don't want them to. He is so stinkin' cute with them flopping over a little and I'm not showing him, so who cares? I love him however he turns out. If your puppy ends up having a little flop to the ear, embrace it.. it gives him character. There's no use in stressing over it.
