So, at what age should you worry about whether or not you need to "help" the ears come up? My pups are about 4 months old, and my bitch's ears look to be up but floppy, but both of my boys' ears are still hanging - the bases are solid, but the rest is pretty floppy. Sometimes up, sometimes down. They are teething right now - just started. Neither side of my puppies' pedigree has ever had ear problems. Any input welcome!! TIA!!
