My now 15 week old puppy seems to be doing the ear dance. He has done everything from no ears up, left ear up, right ear up, to both ears up. He seems to have pretty good size ears and all of his siblings have both of their ears up already. I was just wondering if you think his ears will stand or if we may have to help him out a bit.
Wow! Quite the ear dance. All up, all down, and everything in between! Well, good luck with them. Who's the big boy/girl in the last pic? He's/she's a nice looking dog.
very large ears. smack dab in the teething stage. i wouldn’t touch them for at least a month (or honestly not at all), and do what you can to keep the heart attacks at bay. nature will ultimately do what she wants.
for what it’s worth, the pic at 14 wks is one of the most adorable ear stages i’ve seen.

If he's ears were up once, fully up and standing like they should, they should go back up. I would give him knuckle bones to chew to work all those muscles. He just has big ears.
My older female had ears up at 12 weeks when I brought her home. They fell down within about a week, and did not come up to stay for good until she was NINE MONTHS!
Sometimes patience is needed. Lots and lots of patience. But rest assured, once up, they WILL come up again!!
Fodder, there's always the chance of a serious injury, but barring that, they should come up. And the OP's pup DOES have very large ears, so it's going to take awhile for him to grow into them!

My almost 6 month GSD mix’s (50% GSD, 50% mutt) ears have been taped using Breathe Right nasal strips for almost a month and a half. Her ears look great when using two strips per ear, but we’ve been using eyelash glue as adhesive, and the strips don’t stay on for more that two or three days. The...
My puppy is five months old and her ears are still down. Should I be worried!? My last puppy was four months old when I got her and they were already up. Is it nothin? Or should I be worried?
Looking for advise. Our 20 week old pup had perfect ears until a couple of days ago. She was outside and somehow injured the tip of her ear possibly with a livestock electric fence, no blood or cut just the tip floppy. It doesn't appear to be sore to touch or bothering her in any way. Is this...
Hey All,
I have a 4 month old pb gsd from a very reputable breeder and personal friend.
Since he's been 8 weeks, his left ear sort of sits on the side of his head, flopping a bit crooked. There has been improvement since then, and when alert, it will stand up straight.
My concern is that...
my 15 week old has had her ears up since we brought her home at 9 weeks, but i was wondering when she is going to grow into them, it seems like everyday she gets bigger and her ears do to. she is adorable with her ears that are to big for her head i am just curious as to when she will grow into them
