Ears standing..... I am not sure if this is the right section to post this but I am sure someone can answer my question :) I just went and seen my new puppy today at the breeders and she will be 6 weeks on Tuesday. Gracie's ears never stood she has always had floppy ears so my question is: Is there an approx. age when the pups ears should stand?? I know they are all so unique and things happen at their own pace but I was just curious!!!! Thanks so much! |
Peeka's didn't go up till about 8 weeks and Boo took a little longer i think they should be up by 12 weeks |
as your pup goes through teething... her ears will go up and down as her her calcium level goes up and down.... layla is 9 months... her ears were up.. but one just flopped last month... who knows! |

After they finish teething you can usually tell whether the ears will be up or down. Sometimes if the dog has very big ears they are just too heavy it seems, but then again, our biggest girl in our last litter had very large ears, we figured she would be the one with floppy ears, and her ears went up first. She now looks like a cute little fox :) If you really care one way or another (I personally don't, but a lot of people want pups with standing ears since it is standard), you can try shaving the ears, it helps get some weight off of them and assist the "standing up" process. Also, if that doesn't work, you can try taping them for a bit. And please don't go grab a roll of duct tape and just have a go at the poor pup. Ask a vet if you don't already know how to go about it. I was shocked when I was explaining this to a potential buyer once and they said they had duct taped one of their former pups ears completely together...they didn't get a pup ;p |
