Trying to figure out if I should start becoming concerned.

Is he done teething?

My boy's came up and stayed up at 18 weeks--which was last week--they looked very similar. Give it another week or two.

I'd give it one more week, it looks like the one thats up, will straighten out,,the other, I'd give it a week and then I'd start taping cause I am paranoid about ears

.. He is absolutely stunning

Were they ever up?

They look like they are almost up. I have heard tricks of making sounds to perk the dogs interest, thus strengthening the ear and feeding them calcium...though I don't know if it really works. But his ears look close to perking up permanently

My K2 has airplane ears right now. It's not uncommon for ears to wait to stand until after teething, which can take up to 6 months. I wouldn't be concerned until then. I've heard about dogs taking until 8-9months before the ears stood for good.

Those ears look like they will go up no problem to me.

What a gorgeous dog! My dog's ear did the signaling a left turn thing too but it came up right after that. But they had both been up prior to that point- they flopped when he was teething

He is such a cutie. My dogs brother had the same ears and both finally stood on their own a little after 8 months. Give him lots of marrow bones to chew on because the gnawing strengthens the muscles that pull the ears up
