I have an 8 month old and she has one ear up and one ear down. The breeder told me that they may not stand up because the mom's ears never did. I was going to tape it up but my understanding is that after 6 months if they were not standing they would not. It is funny it is the tip area that is not standing not the whole ear. Where it is shaved is where it is flipped down. She is cute no matter what. She has even won a place in my hubby's heart (who DOES NOT like little dogs)
but, he couldn't say no to his little girl who worked so hard for her.
