Flopped over Ears

Question
My puppy is 4 mo. old, and her ears are still half folded forward. I have read that taping may be necessary, but I would rather not. Is there a chance (since she is a mini) that ears are a little delayed?

Answer
Hello. There is no such thing as a mini boston terrier bostons range from 10-25 pounds there are no minis/standard sizes. My boston terrier was in the half up stage at that age as well and her ears turned inside out...curled backwards when she was abit older and finaly stood straight. They do take a few months to go all the way up. I've never heard of taping boston terriers ears...and if they should for some reason not go up I see no point to do them up unless this is a show dog. Also if her ears should Not go up in another 2/3 months I would have to say she isnt purebred.
