My baby boy Jack's ears I think are too big to stay up. I was looking at them this morning and there is just no way his ears would stay up. Plus, I think he's cutter with big floppy ears. I never did get to meet his parents b/c I bought him off of someone that already purchased him from the parents. So I don't know if his parents' ears stand up or if they are too big to stand up. Oh well, I wouldn't trade Jack's appearance for anything even if his ears are suppose to stand up.
