Because Jager used to ride in a crate in the bed of my pick-up and now rides next to me in a 59 CJ5 he's exposed to a lot of people. About once a month someone (at a light) wants to argue with me that Jager's a wolf, or at least half wolf. All of these folks tell me they know what they're talking about because they used to raise wolves.
I believe I might try the hyaluronic acid while I'm saving up money for the ear job. If I don't need it I'm sure I can squander the money on something foolish like bills.

Oh you have a "part wolf" too huh? It's always the people who have had "wolf hybrids" in the past that talk about what great pets they are and how our dogs are TOTALLY hybrids.....yup, I have a 50lb adult "hybrid" lol

Jager is seven. Arrow, the dog with droopulated ears is six months old. Both mother (Lili) and father's (Jager) ears were classic. Arrow's twin sister has the ear problem yet the remaining littermates ears are up and sturdy. Archer's ears were up and stayed up a couple of days after he opened his eyes.
Wolves always have prick ears. Prick ears are dominant, wild type. Wild type ears are smaller and have a larger base than GSDs.
If he's 6 mos old you can fix this without surgery I bet.
Send a photo! The GSD breeders on here will know in one look how this is going to turn out.

His twin sister has an identical problem.
Please forgive me, I know nothing about breeding and very little about purebred GSD genetics but this statement caught my attention.
Does this mean your pup was one of two in that litter?
I’ve never thought much about it but from what I understand, most dogs are bred with one male. Although, I’ve read on here where two males can be used as well.
Often litters are bigger than two (3 to say 10) and I’m thinking that would make the litter mates triplets, quadruplets, etc.
