Yea, a couple of my dogs have ears that I have to shave quite often or they flop right down. I le my Trixie's ears get to heavy with hair when she was younger so now one ear is up and one is down. So it's best to keep them trimmed. Your dog is sooo cute, and his ears aren't big at all!

I do recommend talking to him more to find out his extent of knowledge but I don't think you should dump this vet JUST based on the ear shaving issue.

By the way, adorable baby!!

Seriously...dumping a vet just because he personally didn't think the ears would stand on their own?

Vets do not go to school and take classes on ever breed standard or grooming dogs...they go to school to learn how to treat dogs medically. They are doctors. I think I know a lot about yorkies and some of the other toy breeds but I probably couldn't tell you a thing about Great danes or some of the other breeds...there are some breeds I see and I don't even know what they are (and I think I'm pretty good identifying breeds most of the time).

Cute! I shaved my puppy's ears a few days ago, but still nothing. Your puppy's ears went up really quick!

I am so so happy and thanks to all of you!

Lord have mercy if that is not the CUTEST little baby...now on to potty training which make ears a waltz in the park.

that's great! I know how you feel. My Bengi's ears were down when he was more than 12 weeks old, and the vet told me "some have their ears up some don't" But I didn't stay with that, I did some research, so I shaved the ears and taped them and after a week they were straight up!!!!

Misti1 · 12-05-2007, 07:33 AM

I had a vet tell me that just stroking the ears in an upward direction sometimes stimulates them to "come up". When I got Mika, she was having none of that, would not be still and kept trying to bite your hands....now Kaya was a different story as she was a love bunny, and the ear stroking was soothing to both her and me. After only two days of this, her ears came up, and she was the most precious thing.

How frekin cute that baby is. How old is he?

yaya28 · 12-05-2007, 11:31 PM

Now he has 3 months and 2 weeks. I got him when he had only 7 weeks...
I never thought that a dog can change my life so much. Since I got him I never was upset, my days are just full of joy and happiness. I can not imagine the house without him.... Paco is my "little sun"...
