Yes, when they teeth as pups their ears flop, or fold. They straighten up as they get older, usually by the age of 5 or 6 months. Yes, when they teeth as pups their ears flop, or fold. They straighten up as they get older, usually by the age of 5 or 6 months.

Well your average German shepherd's ears should be standing by 7 months, but if your pups ear is not up by then I would recommend ear glue. At a period from 3-5 months German sheperds start teathing, which causes their ears to soften. So with my German shepherds their ears are glued at five months (if they are not already up). With the glue you will start gluing at the base to the tip of one ear then press and hold the ears together for the reccomended time. It is very important to make sure you glue the OUTSIDE, hairy part of the ear. Gluing on the inside of the ear will cause skin irritation and many more problems. When the ears start to get harder, the ears will start peeling away from each other. Also, it is very important to make sure that you are very careful with your puppies ears while they are still young. Watch strangers petting their head and flopping their ears around (makes me so mad) and rough housing with other dogs. Good luck!

There is cropping but it is cruel and painful for the dog and they often wake up crying at the pain.

If your GSD has a 'soft' ear it should be left.
