Usually around 6 months is a cut off, but who really knows for sure, (not I??) It looks like his left ear is almost up.. How long did you leave (or try to leave the tape on??) Did you use masking tape directly on his ears (yes, I know it can sting when it comes off) He probably won't be able to take it off if you really tape them well, and you must leave it on for at least 4 days min. Your puppy does look cute with his ears down, but if you want to try it one more time this is what you do. Make sure you shave his ear all the way down to the base, then tape the ears standing and straight, then tape the two together (tape in the front and tape in the back to hold them up.
Good luck!!

I put the tape back on Lilly's ear(only the side that won't stand) and I will leave it there until Thursday or Friday, at that time, I will let you all know what the results are!! And then I will be done!!
