6 MO female ears - Page 1

She just turned 6 months old should I be worried that they aren't fully up yet? I would like to eventually breed her so any info would be very helpful. :(

EDIT: realized the pic wasn't showing hopefully this works sorry!

Posted the picture for you.  Have her ears ever been completely up?  It is not uncommon for ears to go wonky during and right after teething.  At her current age, no one here can tell you for certain whether this is just a phase or if you are going to have a problem in the future.  Best wishes for you and your girl down the road.  Are you working her in IPO?

 

Thank you so much for posting the pic! First time posting here not entirely sure how posting pics works >.< Her left ear has stood up all the way (right side in this pic), and it usually stays all the way up, occasionally it will flop to the side so the ears touch. Her right ear very rarely stands all the way up, and when it does it seems very weak at the base. Usually it just leans into the other ear. Her right ear has me worried because I don't have anyone in the area that I'd trust to tape it properly (including my vet) and she's so high strung she'd probably rip it out anyway. (I live in a very rural area of northern Virginia.) This is my 3rd GSD but my first female, both my males ears were up at 20 and 12 weeks old and rarely went down when they started teething, (the 12 week old one matured EXTREMELY fast, not sure if I've been lucky with that). Do females tend to mature slower then males? As for teething she lost her last baby tooth about a week and a half ago. If she is still to young to tell if her ears will stand correctly, when should I start worrying? I'd love to do some type of training with her but the clubs in my area were not taking on any more members because they had to many people. :( It's a shame because she loves to work but I just don't have the resources to train her by myself. As long as the ears stand up and her hips check out I'll still be breeding her though.
