| When do ears "perk up"? Hi all. Our little Ginger is 8 months old and her ears still droop down. At what age will they start standing up? Maybe she hasn't been groomed the correct way? Her fur is still more dark than light colored -- maybe she's still too young? Thanks for comments. |

| At 8 months, they will likely stay floppy. Have her ears ever been tipped? Groomers typically cut the hair off the tip of the ear, so that there is not as much weight pulling down the ear. Or you could try taping them up, but like I said, may be too late at this point!

| By 8 months, her ears will most likely stay the way they are. If you want, you can tape them up and trim the hair on them to make them weigh less.

| I agree with everyone else that by 8 months they are probably going to stay that way but floppy ears are cute mine has them and so does my moms.
