Hey, Harley is a for sure cutie! My Rusty has tipped over ears at the top and he is just so cute I think. He is now 6 yrs old and cute as he can be-to me anyway. He also has very thick ear leather but as he ages only the tops flip over. I have never heard of that syndrome! I do know you can trim the hair off 1/3 of the ears, tape the ears, glue the ears, and feed them extra calcium rich foods. Shredded cheese is good mixed in their kibble. I always heard that until they are 1 year old ears can be trained to stand. Probably what happened is that the breeder had no time to sit and rub the ears! I was told to do that but being a new doggie owner (like a dummy) rubbed the wrong part of the ears!!! I rubbed the tops while I should have been rubbing the base LOL! He sure is cute!
