Hey Pam,
Dennis said that droopy ear-tips, or "bell-ears", was a genetic defectresulting in lack of cartilage and probably will not correct itself.Have you found this to be true in the large breeds? Because the entirelitter had bell-ears at one time or another, and I believe all of themeventually corrected--except Bubby.
His tips still fall, and in fact his entire ear falls sometimes. AsI've mentioned, Bunbun's also did that when he was a baby, but not forlong. Bub's show no sign of standing up at 13 wks. Have you seen thisat this age and what happens as they get older?
It's pretty adorable, but I was just curious and hoping you might havesome experience with that. I don't really care if they fall or standup--he's just my boy!
Thanks!
Rose
