Yoda ears?

Cammotwin · 09-30-2011, 03:42 PM

My 6 month girl Harley has decently stiff cartilage, but holds her ears out at a 45 degree angle most of the time unless something got her attention for a second, then they come up. When she runs she puts her ears flat back on her head. Rarely she will grab a shoe or toy and prance towards me with ears up and the one tip flops. She's super cute to me, but I wonder what anyone else thinks.

You mean like Rocky's?

Miss Molly (9 months) has perfect control over her ears now from standing straight up to doing the 45 deg 'Yoda' thing you are talking about, to laying them flat to her head. I sometimes call her Yoda when she does it actually.

Most of that Yoda stuff happens when she is really happy to see you. It's almost a submissive kind of thing.

I've seen her run fall bore with them up and also with them flat to the back of her head in streamline position.

She is very expressive with those giant ears and like you we think it is super cute.

Every possible position from this

to this

If they're like the ears I posted or the center one that warpwr posted, you can't "help them out." It's just the way they are.

OMG, she is SO cute. I don't see what's wrong with her ears. It looks like she has control over them. I love GSD sticky-uppy-big-ears.

Abby is 2 and she still has yoda ears about half the time.
I think this happens more with females because they have big
ears and a smaller head to hold them. JMHO

<<----- just look
