♥My Lil' Monkey Girl♥ Donating Member | Some will naturally go up with time however some have tapped the ears to get them to stand. I personally love the floppy ears and leave mine floppy.

| Holly's ears were both up when I got her. They went down with teething. It has been a battle ever since. One was up for the longest time, then went down a week or so ago. I shaved them then taped both up for the last week, took the tape off and within 5 minutes both were floppy again. I give up. Floppy ears it will be and she looks cute as heck!

| Maximus is 1, and they never went up. They go up when he gets excited or is running around.

| I had one my first one with floppy ears. But hers were heavy and thick ears. It didn't matter what you did cut the hair or anything hers wasn't coming up. The others I have all have standing ears. Some I have had to tape but you have to cut the hair in the V and then tape and then untape and see if they will stand on there own. If not you have to retape it can take awhile. Depends on when they teeth and there will but some changes up and down on the ears during those times.

| Duke's ears get floppy at the top if they get heavy. Lucie's ears were up and now they get a little floppy at the top sometimes, for the most part they stand. I think it's cute when their ears get floppy

| Floppy Ear club We have an adorable 6 month old girl called Mandisa (Mandy) for short. Mandisa stands for sweet in Egyptian... and that she is. Her ears are still floppy, but I have never tried the shaving or the sticks... I am with the rest of you ... I like her just the way she is! She was spayed, had a dew claw on the back leg removed, microchipped, and also had to have 2 baby teeth removed .... and all this past Thursday... I feel so mean. Finally she is a little back to herself today but still not eating much. She has truely given us such joy .... as a newcomer here, I have to say I have so much enjoyed your info and antics of this wonderful breed! Hi to all and will post a picture as soon as I figure out how to do it. Cheryl |
