Lol, he is simply adorable, since his parents and some of his siblings have this trait, there is probably not a whole you can do, while it's not standard; it's nevertheless cute as heck!

And when I told my DH that I was thinking about taping one more time, he objected. He likes Zacchies ears just like they are.
I guess Daddy has spoken, LOL!

My Rosie has her right ear up and her left ear flops at the tip. I think that is sooo cute!!! Bella has had both ears up for several weeks.

Frequently when puppies are teething the ears will droop. We feed ice cream and frozen yoghurt for additional calcium for puppies and lactating females.

My girls are 'bout 3 1/2 mths, when I got them both had ears that stood up pretty well. They eventually started to flop and I trimmed them..alot. Baby the oh so gorgeous one, hers stood right up and look great. But Bug, well, hers are now, naked pink and still floppy. Kinda fits with her sparse, spindly overall bug-ugly look. She is still my favorite. But those naked pink floppy ears are too cute. My boys the 80lb rescue mutt and Baxter my 10lb maltipoo usually have one ear up and one ear down and that is always a cute look. So, I'm not going to worry about it. The girls are pets and not show dogs..floppy ears are fine. Doesn't help you with how to make them stand up, but if you're not showing them, maybe whatever they're meant to be is what they'll be and their ears will fit their personality?

Eh, I actually like our floppy ears. I wouldn't worry about it.

Last night I was looking at some old video of the dogs, and had forgotten what Zacchie's ears looked like, standing up. They were too cute, but flopping over actually fits who he is. Both Cricket and Zaccheus' ears flop FORWARD instead of sideways, just at the tips.
LOVE it!

Awh I think he is cute with floppy ears. They are half floppy which is even CUTER!

Taping can still work. And remember that he might been getting full adult teeth in. Ella has the same problem. And taping them worked will. I also massage them. I don't know about the calcium thing but it makes sense.
Keep us updated!

I worried too when Shayna's one ear flopped until she was 8 1/2 mo old. After she finished teething they stayed up. No taping, no more worries. She still has one tooth, but the ears are up.
