It's also not uncommon for the ears to droop again when the pup starts acquiring adult teeth.

Also, standing ears (or lack there of) is also something that can be genetic...passed on from the parents and out of your control.

Of course, you will likely never see this advice, but who knows, someone else may find it informative.
