He's adorable! How old is he? Did they stand up on their own or did you have to tape them?

DJ is a little doll, that's for sure. Cartilage holds the ears up, and sometimes during teething calcium is pulled from the cartilage to help create new teeth, at these times ears might droop again. A tip to help the ears stand is to trim excess hair off of puppy's ears. Most breeders recommend that the top third of the ear be shaved. I found it very hard to cut the ear outline with a scissors, and if you make a mistake, ears bleed readily, so in between trips to the groomer I use this little clipper on his ears. http://media.cymaxstores.com/Images/1366/167837-SM2.jpg. You can find it at Target for less than $10.00, and you never have to worry about cutting them. They trim the tips perfectly!

Lol, those pictures are adorable, I probably shouldn't say this because I'm always yapping about breeding to standard, but I think drooping ears are adorable! While I would never recommend a breeder breeding for them, I think they look so sweet. I do love perky ears too though! He does look so funny with his ears taped, did they ever to stand on their own? One cautionary note on calcium, some people think you have to be careful with calcium supplements, and dogs can't always use the calcium from supplements because calcium needs something else in order to be absorbed properly. (I forget the details. ) So some advise giving it in food, such as non-sweetened yogurt. Some breeders also say, just keeping the hair shaved and trimmed helps significantly, and others say, a little massage to the area helps blood supply and strengthens the cartilage. The tiny clippers can be found in the human hair clippers department of Target, most drug stores carry them as well.

Lol, now the ones in the avatar are huge! This is a great picture, and her ears are well within standard. I swear it looks like you can see a couple of front teeth in that picture, it looks like she has bunny teeth too! That's adorable!

hahaha - LOVE THE PICTURES - my husband taped Chanels - it lasted one day and I took it off. I swear she was picking up satellite stations ....

I thought it was cute that he researched it and tried....(lousy job but he did try lol) She was NOT impressed either

her ears stood on their own as did Cheri's but I know some puppies need help if one wants standing ears and they aren't co-operating. Me - I just let them do what they wanted to do and kept the hair shaved down....
