Re: Odd ears
I wouldnt worry the should grow with him and go the same, unless his cartilage is different in one ear than the other, see how he is at around 6 months if its still the same nip to the vets, may have cartilage thicker in one ear than the other

Re: Odd ears
Lots of growing to do yet so would imagine she will grow into them.
Having said that, my Flo has one that always flaps back and when she runs she looks like a seal. That's all down to surgery but wouldn't change her now... It's makes her unique

Re: Odd ears
Haha they have some funny looking times when they are growing Bane's used to fold neatly on top of his head...kinda looked like one of those farmer caps! Then one dropped and then they both did then he had bat ears! I'm sure pup will grow into them Just make the most of the funny pics you can get!

Re: Odd ears
I have never seen a pup ears do that before it does look really cute though haha, her ears should grow as she grows if nothing happens in a few months just pop to the vets to double check

Re: Odd ears
She has lovely ears bless My boy's ears went through weird phases, one min they would be stood up on end all pointy, then one would fold and the other would curl...all part of growing up, I wouldn't worry. Took him two years but finally grew into them

Re: Odd ears
it is to do with the teething, the muscle relaxes and the ear will flow. our breeders said it will go on till about 6-7 months and to just massage the ear back to train the muscle and also glue the ears back as well if it is getting really bad. if it happens for too long and the muscle isn't trained they may stay like that. which is not a problem really, unless you are showing the dog, then it is considered a fault.
Cute pup btw

Re: Odd ears
The first pic is my pup at 16 weeks. His ear was flopped forward as well, the folded one didn't even fold until 15weeks either. We would find the natural fold in the ear and massage it back nightly when he would lay calm. The other 2 pics is now at 13months. His ear is not perfect but has a fold, just sits a little high compared to the other ear.
I would bet the other ear will fold soon, just find the natural crease for the rose ear and start pushing it back and massaging it.
