DavidStevenson Webboard User Reg: 12-01-2001 Posts: 116 Loc: Offline	My GSD puppy is now 9 weeks old and only one ear is up. The other one is still flopping and shows no signs to move up. My wife tells me not to panic but I do. My question is: taping or waiting??

END I've met several whose ears didn't stand until after 12 weeks, and I've HEARD of much later than that. There's a forum about that very question with a dillion varying responses at this web address: http://www.germanshepherds.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=192345&an=0&page=0

Most GS ears stand on their own, but there are always exceptions and if you wait to long it will be too late. The ears may stand then drop during teething this is normal.

DavidStevenson Webboard User Reg: 12-01-2001 Posts: 116 Loc: Offline	It worries me because only one ear is down and the other one is ok. If both would look alike I may wouldn't be so concerned. By the way I read in previous threads that Ed wrote an aricle about ears. Can somebody tell me where I can find it or give me a link? I appreciate your input. Thanks.

Andy Chen Webboard User Reg: 05-02-2005 Posts: 33 Loc: Offline	my pup's ears didn't become fully erect until 13-14 wks. One ear was floopy while the other one stood firm. I don't think you have anything to worry about, if you have Ed's 8 wks to 8 months dvd, his pups shown were at 11 wks and had both ears floppy still. You should be worried when they are still very floppy at 16 wks.

If both would look alike I may wouldn't be so concerned Ha, just wait...they won't look even for weeks. At one point one or the other will look like it is super-glued to the top of their forehead and/or the tips will look attached. All perfectly normal. Take plenty of pictures, I bought a digital camera to keep up with my pups ears. My pups came up somewhere between 14-16 weeks and stayed up through teething, but I was warned that they would probably come back down.
