Owners of dogs with stand up ears

[Candleliteranch]

I was surprised on Christmas with a Boston Terrier puppy. He's now almost 12 weeks old and the tip of one of his ears curled backwards (sorta inside out) Will it go back on it's own or do I need to do something about it? I know Yorkie ears used to be taped but I'm afraid he'll just fuss at the tape. anyone.......?

That means he has very strong ear cartlidge. That is a good thing, and no, you shouldn't have to do anything. It should be fine as he matures. Usually you have to try to make weak ears stand, but that is sure not his problem. He'll be fine, and he'll soon be teething, so they may start doing some wierd things as he goes through that as well.

Am adding a few pics here to show you Molly's were like that too...one was over backwards, one forwards, but both turned out great!

Sounds like your pup is going to end up with great ears!

Mona I LOVE your Molly, those pictures are so darn cute!!!

Thanks Ladies, I feel better now! Mona, Paco's ear looks almost just like Molly's did. BTW She's adorable!
