Thanks!!! So if they are not up by...say 12 weeks...i would need to assist them to stand up? It's just a hassle for me..Teddy's ears never went up and he gets ear infections all the time. Meanwhile London's ears are up..and the vet said her ears are as clean and healthy as a whistle and also Sophie's ears were up and she never had ear problems either..so i prefer them to be up. And plus it's cute
