Default Not sure

Well we have a name picked out our new baby girl will be Abbi, we went and seen her again yesterday as we try to see her everyday till she comes home on Thursday. I was curious if her ears look normal for 12 weeks? They seem very soft, maybe we are just paranoid...

We are so excited Thursday cant get here soon enough!!

I'm not sure on the ears, maybe someone else will come along with an opinion. How are the ears on the adults?

We didn't get to see the parents due to us adopting her. She has absolutely beautiful markings and she is extremely active and playful. Talk about a chewer...lol Every time we go see her she starts getting all excited so we know she knows who we are.

All 3 of mine had "ears up" at about 9 wks. They flopped a few times while teething, but not much. I believe others on the forum have dogs who's ears took a little longer. You probably just have to wait and see, either way she's a cute pup, I bet the anticipation is difficult!

Yes the anticipation is really bad, feels like your leaving your kid... We just got back for visiting her for a couple hours. We try to see her everyday so the bond is already growing...

You'll have to post some pictures when you bring Abbi home!

Is there a chance she's not 100% GSD? The ears look a tad big for a 12 wk old GSD.

I would try taping them when you get her home and see if that helps.

She is adorable, and I do believe she has some lab in her.
Those ears look very different from what I saw on Hans at 12 weeks. Much larger and floppier, and thinner, too, I believe. I do not think her ears will stand.

We both asked that question specifically and we were told she was purebred. They provided us with papers from the American Purebred Registry. I guess it really doesn't matter I guess everyone and Abbi are very happy.

Here is the other pictures we have, only a few more days and she will be home...
