OP you could try a little cottage cheese in your puppies diet and see if that helps the ears and also shaving and taping if needed as others suggested. On another note to reply in a small way I to agree the breeder does not sound like one I would purchase from either. Hopefully my response will not be called names also but I to disagree with "designer" dogs. Unless of course you are rescuing from the pound
. Best of luck with your new pup I am sure it will give you lots of love.
