CHIHUAHUAS

i 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.

Why do chihuahuas ears alternate between floppy and erect while teething?

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.

German Shepherds' ears typically stand up on their own as they grow, usually by 6 months of age. If your puppy's ears haven't stood up by this age, you can try posting or taping them to help them stand. If the ears still haven't stood up by around 8-9 months, it's less likely they will naturally stand on their own.

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.
