| ears up or down? How many of you know of when puppies ears will go up to stay up? At what age? we have puppies that are 6 wks old today, and they're ears aren't all the way up yet. Is that usual? I know with my other litters I've had for the past 3 years, their ears didn't go up much until around 6 months old, but different parents. When we got Mia, the mom to this litter, she was around 9 wks old or so, and her ears were straight up. That's what I'm hoping these puppies ears will be like. Anyone out there that can give me a bit advice on that? I don't want to go to any extremes what so ever on cutting them or having a vet cut them or taping them up. kwim? Anyways, thanks to whoever can give me some input on this. God bless, Heather |

| My experience with Stewie was that his ears were up until he got his rabies shot. They were STRAIGHT up and adorable. Now they flop 90% of the time. I think there are some traumatic circumstances that could make them go down and stay down forever.

| Ears down My Pebbles is almost 2 years old and her ears never went up and the lady that sold her to me actually told me that her ears were too big and that they wouldn't go up, but the moment I saw her I fell in love with her and I thought she looked absolutely adorable with her ears down, they look so cute like that, I think |

| Missy's ears went up at about 3 months. Have the tips of the ears been trimmed so they aren't so heavy?

| I'm not sure when they are 'supposed' to go up but my Harleys ears are pretty mucho big-o and his were floppy until he was about 6 months old when I had him groomed and they cut the hair off his ears and BAM! They were up for good! lol I actually liked them better floppy though! But my fav was when only his left stood up and the other was all floppy! hehe
