German shepherd pup ears

Question
My pup is 13 weeks old and his ears went up at about 9 weeks but for the last week one of them has floped forward half way is this a problem or is it natural?

Answer
Hi Reggie,  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 supplement the puppy with a calcium supplement to get the process started to help the ears.
Hope this helps,

Dawn
