I fussed. I fussed A LOT! I drove my boyfriend crazy with all the taping and researching on the internet.
I was so excited when he was a pup and his ears started standing.... but then they flopped. I was sooo sad. I brought him to the groomer and had them buzz some hair off the top of the ear. I almost kicked myself too because I realized i LOVE his floppy ears. I was tempted to tape them DOWN (
) Needless to say, they are too large to stand up and I wouldn't have it ANY OTHER WAY!
(Don't get me wrong- I love the ears up on the small little babies, but he's getting to be a big boy- I estimate around 6ish pounds- and looks perfect with the ears down)
(first pic of them up and at about 7 weeks and the last pic is him as of yesterday with the floppy ears!)
But goodluck in your conquest to get the ears up- I just thought I'd share the flip side of the ear theory
