| Welcome to YT, congrats on your new addition I would love to see pictures I love the one ear up one down look. The only thing that I know of that can train them to stay up is taping them. I've also heard that while teething the ears can flop too so it may just go back up on it's own

| Bella's ear dropped when she was 4 months old and teething. I gave some puppy vitamins with calcium to help. It came up in a few weeks. |

| i would say make sure the ear is shaved front , back and the v shape! the extra hair weighs the ear down sometimes! Also i massaged mine every chance i got. IF it really comes down to it you can tape it but that probably wont be nessasary! |

| thanks hi again everyone. thanks for the suggestions on getting the floppy ear to behave. since i last posted, i took blossom to the groomer and got the ears shaved and the errant ear has popped up. now whether it stays up or not is another question. |

| Glad to hear that Blossom's ear is behaving! LOL! Bella had the 1 ear up, 1 ear down, too. I thought it was cute! Eventually the other came up. Gotta love those ears!
