| If you have not picked him up yet, perhaps you can ask your breeder if she could start taping his ears. You just wrap a piece of tape about the bottom of each ear and after a short while, they might start standing up. It helps the process a little. You could also massage his ears with your thumb and index finger when you get him home also. I believe it helps the cartlidge out, too. I'm not good at describing things! Maybe this link will help? http://members.cox.net/jrogan/ears.html I know some puppy ears start standing on their own after a couple months. It all depends. |

| My puppy Jewels ears went up when she was about 10 weeks old. Unfortunately they went back down again after she went to the vet which can happen. They may go up all on there own or you can try taping. Some people also shave the ears so they are not as heavy. Best of luck with your new puppy!!!!
