I just came from the Groomer's yesterday and she saw my new female "Abigail" who is going on 9 weeks old (this coming Monday). She said that shaving the ear has nothing to do with the ears. She said I need to feed her "Cottage Cheese" or use a "Calcium Supplement" if she didn't eat it? Or a high Calcium cheese? Due to the fact that any calcium in her Diet was going to go towards building her bones and growing in her baby teeth! I do prefer her ears to be standing, sorry but I agree with the Standard for this Breed!
And my male Artie's ears were already standing when I purchased him @ 20 weeks old. so I did not have to deal with this. I'm not going to bother with taping unless the don't stand by a certain time frame? I will just wait and see? Hopefully Mother Nature will take care of it?
