So I am waiting and watching for Rocky's ears to go up..everyone says give it time and they will. They also recommend talking to the breeder ,so I sent a nice email. sort of an updating you kind but with a question attached. The reply I got was so rude and basicly saying I didn't obey his rules! What ! Excuse me, who died and made you the GSD God. I should have known better and just stayed right here to ask my questions. Here are the emails that were sent, if you care to read them. I don't think I was in the wrong.

Hello, I bought a male puppy from you and have questions concerning his ears not standing yet. His birthdate was Feb. 22 2011. His mom was **** and dad of course was ****. As of 5 mo. old his ears are still going all over the place (except up lol)Any suggestions to help thisngs along? I do give him bully sticks to chew, have added some yogurt to his food and a vitamin supp called Clovite. Thanks for your help! BTW I really love Rocky,he has picked up his training very well!

Wow! There is no reason to be rude, I wasn't accusing anyone, just asking a question. There are many many breeders, AKC judges and trainers and they all have different opinions. In fact AAFCO says large breeds shouldn't have more than 26% protein. The dry food I feed is a high quality. Anyway your follow-up people/business skills has a lot to be desired and you can bet when I buy my next GSD ,which should be in about 6 months, it won't be from you! I will also be posting these emails on the German Shepherd chat board I'm a memeber of to warn others about your attitude in helping folks after you have gotten their money.

Wow, you must have caught them on a bad day or something.

Did the parents have soft ears?

kennajo · 07-21-2011, 07:30 PM

no both parents are registered AKC and have erect ears

**JakodaCD OA** · 07-21-2011, 07:33 PM

wow, that was kinda rude of them

I do agree tho, time to tape those ears..I'm paranoid about ears, and I do know some wait and wait and wait and the ears go up..Me, knock on wood, but all the dogs I've had, had ears that were up no later than 15 weeks..

kennajo · 07-21-2011, 07:38 PM

I'm getting paranoid too but with the heat we have been having ,is it really so important to make him uncomfortable

**JakodaCD OA** · 07-21-2011, 07:39 PM

you certainly don't 'have' to tape his ears, who knows they still may come up,,it's a personal choice

codmaster · 07-21-2011, 07:43 PM

Once the pup gets used to the tape - he won't even notice them at all. We had to tape our pups ears and it didn't seem like a big deal. Actually very common thing to do it seems.

Kaiya's were up big time at 10 weeks - went back down at 11.5 weeks - now the left ear is most of the way up 85% of the time the past week & the right ear only seems to come up when she's concentrating a lot on playing, clicking, etc. She's 13 weeks old...getting a tad bit nervous, but I know it's still considered early!
