Ok last Tuesday we were at Puppy class and a lady who has a little female yorkie named Megan told me I needed to fix Jaspers left ear.He is now 12 wks. old by the way.Anyway his left ear slightly has a bend to it.The other ear sticks up fine.I just thought it would fix itself,I don't know much about this stuff.Well she said I needed to get this certain type of tape and would have to tape both ears.I am no expert on this stuff at all.Jasper goes to see the Vet on Thursday for more of his shots.Would he be the one I should ask about his ears or what?To me Jasper is cute just the way he is but obviously he is flawed because of this.I mean that is the way the lady put it.I have AKC papers on him and he has relatives that were in Dog shows and did other things.His Great Grandfather won first place in some well known Dog competition.My Aunt who has the history on Jasper said he comes from a really good line.That was good enough for me I just wanted a healthy puppy that my kids could grow up with.My oldest now though wants to put him in local dog shows and this lady said he wouldn't get in with his ear being that way.She also said and this is because she wants Megan and him to breed.She said I will get less in the stud fee because he has a flaw.I have another person Tammy who wants to use Jasper for her Marybelle and she never said anything about Jasper being flawed.I have papers on him he is healthy.His teeth look good and we will never miss a Vet apointment so health should not be a problem.I mean the big deal is the ear.What do you think?Is this a big deal?Does it fix itself or is it too late?At 12 wks. is it possible they just haven't perked up yet?If he does need it fixed has anyone ever had it done?Is it pricey?Or is it something I can do at home?
Thanks ahead of time on any input
