Question
I have a 12 week old male Malamute puppy and I was wondering if you could tell me how long it takes for their ears to stand up? Right now both ears are floppy. Thank you.

Answer
Most dogs with upright ears have them standing by 12 weeks give or take a week.If they show no signs of trying to stand in another few weeks then your vet needs to help them some how.
Diet and other things can also affect this so talk to your vet about a good premium diet for your puppy.
