Rose ears

Sasha is turning 7 months old today! I had asked an ear-related question and posted a pic when she was about 3 months old. Back then, the consensus was she was born with rose ears and glueing them wasn't necessary. Her ears are "rose" mostly when she is relaxed. Once she gets in playing mode or hyper-drive, her ears rise and become "floppy" towards the front. Not very pretty the way I see it. My question is, how long does it take for everything to fall into place""? I do have to mention I glued them ïn the rose position a couple of months ago, but they did not stick for long, maybe a couple of weeks at the most.

Same here...Bodie has beautiful, rose ears.

However, when he gets into hyper puppy mode, he pulls them forward and looks totally different. That is normal, I think.

When my dogs play or get excited their ears go forward a bit

They do change positions with different facial expressions. Spanky has great rose ears, but when he gets excited or interested in something, they kind of perk up, but they are still rose ears.

Unless you're showing her...

I wouldn't worry too much about it personally. I'm not sure if continuing to glue it will help at this point. Hope someone with better knowledge about gluing answers too.

Thanks for the answers...

...and for easing my anxiety. Please don't get me wrong, I believe my Sasha is the prettiest little thing in this planet so I don't feel I ""just have to deal with it". I'm happy the way she is and I was just curious, being my very first bully.

Cheers,

Jorge

The rose ear is only when they are relaxed

muscles in the head move the ears back/forward. Happens during alert/excitement/fear etc., etc.,that you can't do anything about. Sorry that you don't think its very pretty, but it's something you are just gonna have to deal with.
