My Artie's ears stay up, my Breeder told me it is a lack of calcium in his system. You should make sure that his hair on his ears are clipped/shaved if not the hair weighs it down. Their actual ears are not clipped, but their tails are docked. Based on the AKC. standards their ears are supposed to be standing, most Breeders tape them for about 2 weeks with masking tape. I guess it's Personal preferrence?
