I love my little one very much and no matter what will love him but when you buy a certain breed of dog you want them to look like that breed and some people have told me to leave them alone and let them flop I should accept him as he is but I really want them to stand if I can do so without causing him pain. Let me know if any of you have had this type of experience? Did it end well?

Another post mentioned that teething can cause this and this is also what I've been told. We had the same problem with Taylor. We were told by our breeder just to put masking tape around each ear so that if folds a bit, then take another strip of masking tape like a bridge to connect the two ears in a more upright position. She said just leave it on two days and remove it. We did that twice and finally it worked. I think that teething is the problem.
