| I happen to have a floppy ear baby... I wouldnt change him for the world. When we got him in October, he was 3 months old and he had BIG BIG ears... I didnt know much about up or down ears, but he is so precious, I didnt even try. He is no show pup but he sure is my precious "tootie"...

| My Bobby's ears popped up after I got him groomed. He's 6 months old. He apparently just had too much hair on his ears and they were weighted down. They still go down when he's scared or something but they go straight up most of the time now. Julie |

| If you want them to stand, keep the hair shaved on them. If you don't want them to stand leave the hair.

| At that age your pup is beginning to teeth and this is a common occurence. Tigger had one that did that but it came up a month or two later. I do recommend keeping their ears shaving halfway down to help them stand on their own though. It's nothing to worry about. They'll stand eventually.
