6 1/2 Month GSD Hybrid Ears Not Standing??

Pistol · 03-19-2013, 06:13 PM

Hello All. I have a 6 1/2 month old male german shepherd hybrid named Pistol. I'm worried about his ears not being erect as he gets older, I didn't buy a floppy eared dog, I love him no matter what I just really want his ears to stand. I believe the bases are strong, his left one more then his right onw, I'm thinking maybe it got alil damages cause our ferret has bit the base where all the fur is a couple times, and when he rough plays with our female boxer I believe she sometimes gets his ears, or use to. Ive read of giving him vitamin c will help but how? Put it in food or? And I was thinking o of taping or gluing but I have no idea how to. Any help will be great appreciated thank you. Forgot to add that they have been up for more, not for a long time but theyv been up multiple times probably for no more then a minute each time

What is he mixed with?

His ears do look a little heavy, but they may still stand. My male Shepherds ears took until 7-8 months to stand solid.

Have the ears stood before? Have you done any taping?

What is a GSD hybrid?

I have also rubbed his head and neck a lot until reading i should stop. Not his ears but top of the head

Technically, hybrid is used for Wolf crosses. I think he means " mix" not that it makes that much if a difference. Looks like a Rottie/ GSD to me. Super super cute dog!!!

I was told by the breeder he was mixed with wolf, I'm guessing it could be wrong but I'm believing it. They've stood before but didn't stay standing for that long. No I haven't done any taping, I was considering it but have no idea how to. What would you say is the cut off of the ears standing?

No I mean hybrid, he's not part rottie, the neighbor thought he was part rottie before lol but he's not

Looks like my brothers in-law dog who is mixed with a collie and the ears never stood up, they are too thin.

Don't believe it.
There is zero point zero wolf in that dog.

Those look as if they have a chance, but you will need to tape or glue.

You can go on youtube and I am sure you will find videos on how to do this. Also, I think the Leerburg website has some instructions.

Is there any chance of them standing? Giving him vitamin c? Or taping or gluing?
