German Shepherd Ears Flop
german shepherd ears flop
My German Shepherd’s ear won’t stay up?
Heya,
So I have a beautiful, healthy German Shepherd. He’s a male and is about 8-9 months old. I’m just wondering, one of his ears stands up perfectly, but the other just flops to the side. Is this ok? or should he have them both up by now? Sometimes it sits up, but only when he’s alert.
Is there anything I can do to help him get it up?
Thanks ^^
It’s too late…after about 6-7 months taping won’t even help. Your dogs ear will probably never stand up. At 5 months you should become interested in the ears. If they stand, then go back down at 6 months during teething, they’ll come back up after teething. But 9 months is way too late. You should’ve asked this question 2 or 3 months ago. You can try taping or glueing them now but I would give you a less than 10% chance to get the ears up.
Ignore the people who said this is normal and he’s just a puppy. He is just a puppy but flop ear at 9 months is NOT normal. I’d know, I breed German Shepherds…these people only seem to know they start flop and raise with age…problem is they don’t seem to know what age but talk like they’re speaking facts (don’t you just hate that!?!?!).
At what age does a German Shepherd Dogs ears stand up?
I have a 12 week old puppy, cute as a button. One ear has popped up and it stands up just fine, the other looks like he has a ‘combover” it’s flopped over the top of his head. He looks really silly, but terribley cute.
I love the comical look on their faces when their ears are starting to stand – very cute!
My daughter’s GSD’s ears started standing around 4mths and from memory were up all the time before 7mths!
