Question
I have a 15 week old shepard pup and he has one ear fully up, his other ear is still floppy.. what age is a normal age for both ears to be up? thanks

Answer
Hi Heather, GSD ears go up and down from approx. 8wks to 8 months of age.  If they aren't staying up on a regular basis by 6 months of age, then you will want to give a calcium supplement to the puppy to get the process started to help the ears.  Hope this helps,

Dawn
