Early ears also going up awkward?

Bondey · 12-21-2012, 01:45 AM

My Gsd puppy is 13 weeks old, his ears have been up fully since 9 weeks and also I have noticed they go up straight to the middle of his head and form a triangle of some sort. Numerous people, including the vet have commented on it as strange, i just want some more opinions.

Perfectly normal. Take lots of pics this stage doesn't last long.

Look for "ear stages - a pictorial". There are lots of good pictures just like your pup's. What is his/her name? Really cute.

Lol, I miss that ear stage. Its very normal. So tell those people they have no idea what they're talking about. Adorable puppy.

If the vet said it was strange, then obviously the vet doesn't have any experience with GSD's. it is perfectly normal. I would find a different vet.

Normal, it is just a stage. Very cute pup by the way, thanks for sharing with us.

Not strange - Sneaker had ears like that, we called her our little conehead.

Eventually her head grew into her ears, and she looked normal.

Thanks a lot guys.
His name is Jet, another pic since you all liked him so much, this one is pretty special i think, taken a few weeks earlier.
