I wasn't sure where to post this, hope this is the right section. This doesn't have to do with chickens but you are all so informed on so many things I wanted to ask your opinions on this.
We have a new German Shepherd mix puppy. He is about 12 weeks old and his ears are trying to stand up - kinda. We also have a six month old Shepherd puppy who's ears both went up by themselves. I don't really care if his ears stand up although I love the look of Shepherds with stand up ears.
I have heard that people will use certain methods to 'help' their puppy's ears stand up ... taping them, glueing them...??
Having looked at several breeder sites they all make sure their puppy ears stand up.
I'm questioning this practice and wondering what you all think about this.
Should we 'help' our puppy's ears stand up? If so which method is the best to use. Anyone have personal experience with this?
Or should we just let nature take its course and whatever happens is fine.
