I had my sweety pie izzy's ears tipped today at the groomers. I'd been wanting to get it done and this is the first time I got them done since Ive had her. Her ears were standing when I bought her but after she started teething they flopped over. She's now one year one month so Im hoping I didnt wait too late and that they still stand up eventually! Keeping my fingers crossed. Eek!

update: Her ears take turns standing. Sometimes both ears stand, sometimes one ear will stand and sometimes they will be floppy. Hopefully one day the both will stand.

keeping my thumbs crossed. LOL.

That is a very cute look

Did the grooomer also shave the ears? sometimes hair on thes ears weigh down too much , and they will flop over... Suzi had the same look for a while as a puppy until the groomer took the excess hair off, after that she has them standing up all the time.

Haven't had the experience of ears flopping but I have heard that sometimes they will do that when they are teething. Don't know why, maybe because they don't feel as good and perky.

Update: Her ears stand sometimes but they havent completely stood indefinately....I guess everyone is right when they say
