| Let them be floppy! They are cute floppy. You could try cutting the hair so thats not weighing them down. Also taping may help, but theres no guarantee.

| How long is the hair on her ears? I agree with Rebecca..try cutting/trimming the hair on her ears if it is possibly weighing them down.

| Troy's hair on his ears was quite long when he was 6 months. After I trimmed the hair, the ears perked right up. Never had to tape.

| Take him to the groomer and have the groomer tip them correctly.

| I agree lol the first time I did Laddy's ears they were a mess and I have done human hair 25 years now. I had to watch and learn so I would know after that.

| I know its not standard but I love floppy ears and I kinda figure if God means for them to go up they will if not they wont lol. I would not like tape on my ears the noise it would make and the uncomfortableness of it would be enough to drive me crazy.
