| Ears..just curious Little Bailey's ears have been sticking up for awhile now, in this pic he is one day away from 8 weeks old.. Will is ears stay up now?, or will they drop again? I never gave much thought to ears before..

| Sometimes their ears will droop when they are going through the teething process. To help them stand up you should keep the top 1/3rd of the ears shaved. This will eliminate some of the weight.

| Missy's have always been up. They were up in her 5 week old pictures and were still standing when I got her at 7 weeks of age. They never dropped or sagged at all, but we've always kept the top 1/3 of the ear shaved. I've read numerous times that teething can cause their ears to sag a bit. I'll bet that Bailey's stay up, it's suppose to be genetics that dictates whether the ears stand or not. I guess that you'll find out soon hey? Very cute pic btw.

| Well Ranger's ears wtood right up at 7 weeks old, they stil stand up most of the time, but they also droop a little too. He is 8.5 weeks now. He is actually sleeping right next to me right now and his ears are standing right up

| I should probably add that Gracie's ears drooped when she was a pup but after shaving them they are now standing up straight at full attention.

| They are all super cute with stick up ears or floppy ears!..I think it is probably genetics as well, Baileys parents have stick up ears. That's really interesting about the teething.
