The point with making a comment of the dog not being purebred is in direct relation to it's ears. Dogs that are mixed with lab/gsd etc most likely will NEVER stand. you can try to tape, and I would do it now, but don't get your hopes up.

tape it...

I would also try feeding him cottage cheese or something high in calcium because so much of it is also being used on his teeth right now.

Give him fresh bones to chew on.......it will help strengthen the area around the jaw and ears....besides being a good source of small amounts of calcium.

Don't tape it. Use Kamar Adesive, and ear inserts from dogsport.com. I KNOW FOR SURE, this is the way to go, I just fixed a female with Kamar and the inserts and it was a breeze. I tried taping for weeks before I used the glue and inserts and it was a complete p.i.a. and it never worked. I agree with everyone above. Crease looks a little big for now. Tape it.

Best of luck, you can do a search on long coats ears taking too long to come up, and see what I did.

I use the same technic (as Kamar) but with moleskin and Tear Mender Glue..And they don't make any reaction with the glue..
I don't know about Kamar adhesive but it seems to be working good!! :))

thanks, well after 3 days i went ahead and removed the tape this morning and his ear is standing up straight, here are some pics, and yes he has huge paws :)

After he is done teething and if the ear is still not up have you considered colostomy glue? It worked wonders for my 8 mo. old male. He just had big giant ears but a month of that glue and playing card shaped like his ear in there and viola! The card fell out a few times afer only a few days and the ear stood for about 48 hours then went down again. It is important to leave the card in until it falls out on its own. I highly doubt his ear would have stood at all without it.

Huge doesn't even begin to describe those paws! He's going to be one BIG fellow when he grows into them and those ears, which by the way look nice after your tape job. Keep us posted on his weight as he ages. I'm just curious about how big he ends up being. What a sweetie.
