Australian Cattle Dogs typically have their ears stand up between 5 to 8 weeks of age, although this can vary individually. The ears may initially be floppy and will gradually become erect as the puppy grows and develops. Factors such as genetics, health, and even the dog's mood can influence the timing and permanence of ear positioning. Proper nutrition and care also play a role in their overall development.
