| Ears?? Can someone tell me if the ears will stand up on their own eventually? I have heard that sometimes they just pop up on their own? |

| They usually do stand on their own if their hair isn't too heavy to weigh them down. If you feel like you need to help them stand you can cut the hair on the ears to lighten the load. If that doesn't seem to help enough you can always try ear taping.

| Will ears stand up? (I DON'T WANT THEM TO) Hi! I actually have the same question....at what age do they stand up? I would actually prefer if Maxi's ears DON'T stand up...I know it's standard, but I love his floppy ears, and they are so big, I don't know how good they'll look if they're standing up. I'll sitll love him the same of course

| Some ears take up to a year to stand, or you can take up to the first year to "help" them stand, if they don't on their own. Most pups I know have their ears fully upright by 6 months. Blazer has floppy ears and I love it, he is only 5 months old, though, but I love the puppy face he has with floppy ears. Sometimes his ears will stand up, but not often anymore now that his hair is longer again.
