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.

Never heard of gluing pups ears?

Sorry no help here either, not heard of glueing 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.

i heard that before i think some breeders do that doe some reason

gosh do breeders really glue pups ears down  

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.

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.

He's gorgeous, I would just leave him and let them grow naturally

Go by your own inclination. Leave them as they are, he's gorgeous!

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 .

Never heard of it either, but as said leave them to develop as nature intended  

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

Look at my Jasmines ears in my avatar. Her ears have always been sat on the top of her head like two dairylea triangles lol!!! But both mum and dad had perfect Staff ears, so im not worried at all.
