| If you definitely want the ears to stand up (I was so mad when Kaba's stood up...hehe) then make sure and keep the hair trimmed around the ears. Also remember that during the time they are teething, the will come up and down (just something they do. at least from what I hear, Kaba's never did this). Kaba's one ear was flopped over until about 6 or 7 months and just one day stood up on its own. I never did any taping. (I'm against it, JMO) But the main thing is the hair, they say trim in a V shape around the ear. I'm sure in grooming there is a post on it.

| Izzie ears were floppy as well and then I shaved them. One ear would come and the other stay down and then last week I woke up and they were both standing up. They have been up for about a wk now but who knows if they will stay that way. I hope they do. I would try to shave them down if you can.

| give it time, 6 months is right around teething time and that may be the reason they aren't standing up.

| I don't believe in taping either. Suzy's ears stood up with a little encouragement. I kept the hair trimmed very short about half way down the ear. I did this with a pair of scissors, I didn't use a razor. Whilst playing with the ears can break the forming cartlidge, I gently massaged my pup's ears and that seemed to help. I've heard conflicting reports on this, so maybe do some reading up on it before you try. As she's still teething, they flop occasionally and I give them a little massage and their perk right back up. Good luck! Don't stress. It takes quite some time for them to stand up in some cases. |

| ears I have 13 week old girl and her ears are not up either! On pick-up day,the breeder told me they were up and just went down a few days before I got her. She assured me that they would go up in the next month or two and if not ,taping would be next. She also told me that they would go up and down during teething. At what age do these little guys start teething? |
