question about ears.  
Leonard is 12 weeks old now. He's sleeping through the night and having fewer and fewer wayward potty episodes. He sits and waits for his food bowl and is a darling little brother to our Byron. We couldn't be more proud!

I'm thoroughly enjoying (and documenting!) the floppy-eared stage and I'm sure they're all different, but I can't help but wonder: When did your BT puppy's ears perk up?

Our pup is 8.5 months old and they are almost fully up but not quite. I've heard it varies from early puppyhood all the way up to 10 mos. and sometimes a little longer. :)

I wonder that about this fella. It doesn't really matter to me, but I can't help but be curious about it!

I remember Smudge's ears didn't stay floppy too long after we got her at 11 weeks. I guess it varies for each pup. She was probably 5-6 months max untill her ears stood up.
Alanalook_its_alana on May 30th, 2006 05:38 pm (UTC)
I may be wrong too, after all Smudge is 7 now and being younger then I may have thought it wasn't long.

They grow up so fast.

i've heard that if you give them cottage cheese (or is it yogurt?) their ears will get stronger and perk up.

i have three variations with my bostons. dublins ears stand up perfectly (he's almost 2). rylie's ears stand up but are a little floppy on the top (she's 1 1/2), and ramzi has totally floppy puppy ears (he's also 1 1/2).

Wow, you have quite the variety! They must be a sweet little crew.

He's got personality in scads. He thanks you for the compliment!

He's adorable!

Wallace is the only boston we've had since puppyhood, and he's over a year now and his ears are still floppy. Both Petunia and Christy's ears stood up sometime before we got them.

I love him! <3

Molly's were up around 6 months and Bob's are still floppy, though once he met Rory, they started (and keep!) getting stronger, lol!

Shadow's ears are still floppy. He is three years old. I think they are adorable though :).
