Taylor Piskorski Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Just wondering, when will the pups ears stand up? The puppies are now four weeks old, and all but one have their ears still folded down. Dante's left ear stands up, but the right does not. Anyone know?

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 i think it varies n they can have them down for quite a while but they should all be sticking up soon - they look sooooooooooooooooooo cute when their ears are floppy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I'm asking is because my aunt Katie (who is taking a pup) wanted to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokis_mom Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 not sure, doubt for too long...but I do know I've seen pups w/floppy ears at 13 weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceybob Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I think it's around 3 1/2 - 5 weeks. Some pups ears take a little longer to prick up. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutsibe Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Depends on how large or small their ears are - longer ones will take longer to stand up straight, shorter ones will stand sooner. I would say by 6-7 weeks they should be pretty well up, although you might have a floppy one here or there. Ear length seems often to go along with length of bone, and your dogs look like they have lots of that (nice!)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Zoya's ears popped up between 5 and 7 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCouture Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 it varies, embrys ears were up at 8 weeks, but when we picked him up at 10wks they were flopped again, they stood up again around 12 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahNukka&Shadow Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Nukka's ears where up at 5 weeks but apparently the cartlidge is still bendy at that age and dosent firm up for a while so try not to mess with them or they might stay flopped!

Andy Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 We got Daughtry at 8 weeks and she had one upright, and one floppy. it didn't straighten up for about another 4-5 weeks. She looked so cute with one floppy tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocspirit Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 The ears will do their own thing for the first few months. If the ears aren't standing by the time the pup is done teething then they wont ever stand. This is why ear posting must be done prior to teething in order to have any effect on how the ears sit or stand (depending on the desired effect). The old lines in Sibes tend to have ears that take longer to stand. Vixen and her littr mates didnt stand their ears until about 6 weeks old.

Taylor Piskorski Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Dante's other ear perked up right after I posted this, and now Cameo has one standing, one floppy. I suppose they're just out to prove me wrong, everytime I ask a question, they answer it for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
