When I got Gracie, her ears had not come up at all. At 12wks I took her to the groomer to have her ears shaved and the groomer said her ears were so big I should leave them alone and hope they stay floppy. I had them shaved anyway and taped them up for a few days. She is now 2 yrs old and her ears aren't floppy but she kind of holds them out to the side and they are big. Sometimes I think it might have been better to listen to the groomer and left them floppy. If you want Tyson's ears up you could try having them shaved. My vet took a little ear shaped piece of thin cardboard and tapped her ears up and like I said, they did stay up on their own after just a few days. As long as he's not a show dog it is perfectly acceptable either way and I think the floppy ears are cute. Love the name! |
