Will my puppys ears stand?

ShepherdLuver25 · 08-02-2011, 03:32 PM

My puppy is 7 weeks old yesterday and his ears are still very floopy. All the shepherds I have owned when I got them there ears were up. Will his stand?

Ears go up and down until the puppy's done teething. Don't be surprised if they're up one day and down the next until about 6 months. It's completely normal.

oh man- you've got lots of time. no worries.

one thing I noticed with Capone was that his started to perk more and more when I talked to him- short focus sessions, basic obedience commands, constantly calling his name

Ditto what Paul said.

This is the ears up section, read the sticky topics here.

Read all the information threads on the board. They change at all stages some times up sometimes down. My males didn't go up until about 11 months old but my new females ears were up already and we just got her last week at 4.5 months old.

Don't worry and enjoy the fun stages they go through.

Miss Molly's ears didn't spring into action until about 6 months.
4 months...

5 months...

6 months...

She has very soft ears and will sometimes hold them in the Yoda position.

Sure. Miss Molly's ears at 8 weeks...

And at 12 or so weeks...

And until she was 6 months old, like I said.
