how old is your pup?? Pepper's were up when we got her at 11 wks. I started shaving the top 1/3 of her ears at about 4 1/2 months old and they have always stood up. is your pup teething?? sometimes they droop while they are teething I guess it's kinda like ear aches when skin babies are teething

Both Roxi & Rocco's ears were floppy till about 4 months, then one came up, then the next!! By 5 months they were both up. I never did the taping, or the hair triming on either of them...

Kasey's ears:
1) when first got home at 12 weeks, one stood up, the other flopped
2) after a couple of weeks, both ears stood up
3) Now, both ears flop over!!

The funny thing is that if she is interested in something, both ears stand straight up!!

When we brought Chip home at 8 weeks, his were floppy. At about 10 weeks, one was up and the other was down. At about 12 weeks, they both were standing up. He is now 18 months old. Smokey is 15 months old and his are still floppy. I think it's adorable and makes their faces look so much sweeter!

When I got Izzie her ears were down... I shaved her ears about 1/3 down on both sides and about a wk later one when up and then 2 wks later they were both up. I know the breeder did do the taping too..She was almost 4 months when they both went up. They both been up since then. Every once in a while I do shave her ears so the fur doesn't weigh them down.

Sadie is 10 weeks old now. Here is a photo of her that I took today. I remember when we got her from the Breeder there was one other female there and one of her ears flopped down and one was straight up. LOL. She was very cute. Sadie's momma had ears that stood up but her daddy's did not. I would like Sadie's ears to stand up but I dont plan on showing her or anything; I just like how it looks.
