Ears

Question
Hello,
Our puppy is about 3 months old.  His ears went from flopping forward at a
young age to now standing mostly erect...however, at the very top, they flop
backwards--like the tips were curled backwards with a curling iron.  I was
just wondering if that was normal, if they will stand up fully erect by the time
he reaches maturity?  Their ears are not usually cropped, right?  Thanks, Nikki

Answer
Hello Nikki and thank you for your questions,

This is perfectly normal my little Hannah (now 7 mnoths old) had her ears like this for about 4-8 weeks at 2 1/2 to 3 months upto 4 12 monthsish. They look ever so darling when they look at you with there ears like this don't they...I couldn stop laughing my little Hannah was just too cute with her Curled ears. One will normaly pop up before the otherone fully once ther both fully up genrally they will stay up at lest my girls did.
