Hi i have 6 months old Mali pup who still have floppy years. Some say it's because he is still teething, some say he will stay like that.
Did any one have similar problem, and will he always have floppy ears??? and is there anything i can do???? This Pics were taken when he was 4.5 months old the first one is when he is running the second one is when he is focusing. When he walks they never flop. 
This is when he runs

They look fine to me.  How do the stand when he's relaxed?  That they both stand nice and straight at this age when he's alert means you shouldn't have a problem with them.

As far as the flopping when they are running, lots of dogs ears do that, even as adults.  There is no bone in an ear, it's not like it's a completely stiff surface, you can take and bend them with your hands, so it's no surprise they give a little when a dog is running.

Don't worry. My Caesar's ears didn't stand up straight until he was 8 months old.

When he is relaxed his ears are back, but when he is alert or focusing his ears are up like on the second picture. Thank you very much for your help this is a picture with his mum
