flopp eared dog

I am beginning to worry that Rocky's ears will never stand up! I mean he is cute and all but........? He is 4 months old.

At four months he is just starting teething which means that
his ears will be up and down and all around. From your pic,
his ears are on the way up, and should go up and stay up
once teething is over. Don't think you have anything to
worry about.

I think his ears are doing good. Enjoy it! My girl's ears were up from the moment she came home and only briefly were they wobbly. I never got to see her go through the cute wonky ear phase!

Cruisers ears look the same as this guys. They are up and down and all over. He is really teething right now so I think that is the norm.

I have a whole photo series of my pup's ears, and posted a "daily ear report" on my Facebook page. It is hilarious how they go up, down, up again, then down, then over the top of the head, then off to the side. Don't worry, your guy's ears will stand, as long as he's getting proper nutrition.

If at one point one of them was standing up they will stand, but prob not until after teething is complete, give it a couple more weeks.

They will go up and down and all around for a while yet- mine was signaling a right turn for a while. Make sure he has lots of chew things like bully sticks for the next month or so to get him through teething. And don't worry so much!! He's a cutie

Just wait i am sure that he will have his ear strait in no time at all

Zorro is 5 1/2 mths and his ears are still confused as to where they want to be.. teething is almost done
