Ears
Hi All, Kona is 8 1/2 weeks old and i've had him for a few days now. When he first arrived, he had glue on both his ears as did the rest of the litter mates. I took the glue off the same day i took him home. The next day, i noticed his left ear starting to curl upwards. The breeder had mentioned that i shouldn't have taken the glue off and to re-glue it. However, im not sure how to, plus the breeder is in South Africa and i am in California. He said they glue the puppies ears to help set it properly. Any advise would be appreciated.
At 4 weeks.

Re: Ears
I'd leave his ears exactly as they are, they're fine!
They Will do funny things between now and about 6 months old, especially once he starts teething. You can't possibly know how they will turn out until then.

Re: Ears
It's really for showing, but there's no way you can tell how a puppy's ears will turn out. The ears can be rose or half pr1ck, so leave them alone.
If the sire & dam have good ears, the likelihood is that the pups ill also have them.

Re: Ears
Thanks All for the replies. Just wasn't sure what to do as the breeder says to do one thing and i'm inclined not to do anything.

Re: Ears
I agree he is a little stunner , really never heard of this practice before and sounds a little ridiculous to me but I am uneducated .

Re: Ears
They do this alot in English Bulldog circles to train the ears, specifically for showing purposes. I would leave them alone. They are perfect! x
