Drooping German Shepherd ears

I recently bought a 9months old full breed german shepard dog but his ears is still drop down wards. I would like to know if there is a chance it will still rise.


Total German Shepherd:


Sometimes the ears just don't come up and chances are that if they're not up by this time that they won't stay up - sorry. But that's not 100% either.

I do know of one GSD who had floppy ears all her life and then when she was around 2 or 3 she started holding them upright, so go figure. But I can tell you that her case was definitely an oddity as far as I know of concerning this kind of thing happening. Normally if they're not up by around 6 or 7 months, then chances are high that they wont be.

Sometimes GSDs will just have floppy ears - that's just the way it is. You could try taping your German Shepherds dogs ears up at this point - however it may be too late, but what would you lose by trying?

Good luck - and if they don't come up that's all right - it doesn't change the bond you have with your GSD or the dogs ability to be your pet, right? It's still the same German Shepherd, only with floppy ears.
