Question
I have a 12 week old German Shepherd puppy. At what age will the ears stand up? I have spoken to other people and they tell me that they should be standing by now. Is this true? thanks for your response.

Answer
Hi Joseph, GSD Ears go up and down due to fluxuations in calcium levels during the first 6-8 months of life, so the ears will go up and down until about 6-8 montns. If they are not standing by 8 months, you definitely need to get them taped so they can set better. Also, giving calcium supplements during this time period will help also. Hope this helps, and good luck,
