I was wondering about this, too. I just got Bobby this week and he's 6 months old. It's obvious no one has worked with his ears at all. He pulls up his ears when he's playing and sometimes just for the heck of it but they flop down a lot. I have been massaging his ears because I read you should do that but an attendant in the vet's office said it's probably too late. It does seem to help, though, and he sure does enjoy it!

He has LOTS of fur on his ears so would it help to have his ears trimmed or shaved? Would taping at this age work?

Thanks!
