    I have never seen an ear go back down once it is full prick. I don't like prick ears, but one of my favorite dogs had one up and one down so I am kind of fond of that look.

    when i was a child i remember tales of show people bending the prick ear over and putting a clothes peg on it ,ps i am not saying that this is what i would do ! personally i would let the dog mature on it"s own .

    prick ear is a minor flaw and wont matter much as i stated before. but if you hate it that much, like someone else that, a clothes line clip will clip the ear down.

    I have another dog that had Nice ears and at about 9 months both ears went to Half Prick, I didnt like it But It has grown on Me, Since then she has gone on to Become an AADR show Champion at 15 months old, and waiting for her to Become fully mature to put her to work So the Ears really are not a big issue in the Show ring

    imo a dog is what it is ,but some show folk are that fanatical that a little nip "n" tuck isn"t out of the question ,(sad bastards)

    my lil buddy went through some ear stages from the time i got him a 8 wks till now. if you just feel the need to have perfect then just crop them. but the rest is just up to nature.

    Give it a little time as the pup is still in the teething period,which is possibly having an effect on the ears. Not saying they will eventually drop or look alike,but things may well change.
