Lol, those pictures are adorable, I probably shouldn't say this because I'm always yapping about breeding to standard, but I think drooping ears are adorable! While I would never recommend a breeder breeding for them, I think they look so sweet. I do love perky ears too though! He does look so funny with his ears taped, did they ever to stand on their own? One cautionary note on calcium, some people think you have to be careful with calcium supplements, and dogs can't always use the calcium from supplements because calcium needs something else in order to be absorbed properly. (I forget the details.
) So some advise giving it in food, such as non-sweetened yogurt. Some breeders also say, just keeping the hair shaved and trimmed helps significantly, and others say, a little massage to the area helps blood supply and strengthens the cartilage. The tiny clippers can be found in the human hair clippers department of Target, most drug stores carry them as well.
