varies, but should be erect by 6 months
Generally between 4 and 6 months
Ear mutilation is usually done around 9 to 11 weeks of age. Any later and the ears may not want to stand. You are trying to find that time when the puppy is old enough to handle the butchery and anesthesia well, but young enough that the cartilage is not set in their ears yet.
When a chihuahua is young, the cartilage in its ears hasn't become strong yet. Depending on the day and the dogs behavior, the ears may or may not stand up. When the dog has reached a certain age (sometimes 6 months or more), its ears should permanentely stand up. Also if it has adopted a trait from one of its relatives, the ears might never stand up. So sometimes it's just genetics.
It differs between each one. Some stand up at around 5 weeks, and some take a couple months.
They will eventually stand up on their own, although the exact age is different with every puppy. I have seen a few that had one ear stand up completely and the other ear stand up only part way. If you see this starting to happen you can massage the ear in an upright postition and it will help strengthen the ear and help it stand.
6 to 9 months
The appropriate age for a girl to get her ears pierced is 8.
Doberman Pinschers ears are naturally supposed to stay down, but to get the ears to point up you would have to crop the ears. They would have to have a surgery for the cropped ears. Ear cropping should be done by seven or eight weeks of age. The ears will have to be taped which takes four or five months till the dog can have its ears stand up without the assistance of the tape.
It happens naturally, don't worry about it. My puppy had one ear up and one down for a long time but they both eventually stood up.
CHIHUAHUASi own two chihuahuas, and when i got the first one, she came with her ears up, but she was a couple of months old, the second one's ears came up after a couple of weeks of having him, so i am assuming that between the first couple of weeks or months, the dogs ears should come up.Your chi's ears will stand up when the cartlidge in it's ears has strengthened. You may notice that at times it's ears will be up then they'll flop down a little while later...that is normal. Your chi's ears should be fully up when it's reached a couple of months old.
Yes you can get your ears pierced in the city if you are of age.
