Yes they are, however when they are born their ears are closed like most newborns and they stay droopy until about 10-12 weeks of age. There are some pups who will have one ear that doesn't come up. You can stabilize it with a little splint, but that does not always work. So unless you were planning to show him my advise is to just love him anyway.He will still be adorable.
no they don't have to be but you should check with the westies vet to see if s/he needs to have their ears clipped most times they don't
I get my westie clipped every 8-10 weeks so that's 5 or 6 times a year! :)
If the dog you're asking about is a small white dog (a West Highland White Terrier), the answer is no, its ears were not clipped. That breeds' ears are naturally small, pointy, and stand straight up.
No their ears stand up on their own.
NO
A dogs ear hair should be clipped by a professional dog groomer or veterinarian practice. Cosmetic surgery on dogs ears and tails are procedures banned by most canine societies these days. Such mutilation is unlikely to be performed by veterinarians who genuinely care about the animals under their knife.

Assuming you're asking about a puppy's ears, there are different ways of getting its ears to stand up and you should ask your breeder or veterinarian to show you the techniques. Done incorrectly, you can permanently damage the puppy's ears.
Antibiotic ointment is usually safe for dogs. On clipped ears you can use it if there is no infection or open wounds. If these are present, you should take them to the Vet to get proper care and medication.
The price for ear cropping is usually between $250 and $350.
The first thing that comes to mind is the West Highland White Terrier.Sturdy little dog with upstanding ears.
NO! You never tape a bull terrier's ears, never! Why would you want to?! They go up on their own, just be patient!
my bull terriers came up after some weeks take it to a vet or a bull terrier breeder nothing extremely wrong just don't clip them
After cropping, dog's ears are stitched by the veterinarian and the owner is usually supplied with pain medication to give the dog. The ears will then need daily dressing to keep them clean and in the correct position. After a few monoths they will have healed.
