| Did that ear ever go up? You can wait, give him chew bones or foam inserts & glue. If it has never been up then I personally would use foam inserts and glue. |

It looks like it has a crease already.
Has it ever been up? if not, do the inserts. |

| If the ear is partially up, I would wait. Also, if the ear has gone up and then fallen, it will most likely stand. They go through so many changes, the ears go up and down. You also can't go by the siblings' ears. One of my kids walked at nine months and the other at 14 months, same thing, they're all different. I know you're nervous but I think it will come up on its own. |

Sometimes it as long as 6-8 months , heavy teething has a lot to do with it usually it is of no concern. |

Was it ever up?
If so, I would not worry too much.
If not chewing , cottage cheese, etc helps.
I had a female I was ready to place in a pet home whose ear went up on it's own at 11 months.
It happens.
And its not even weak, ITS UP!

The ear may or may not come up, I don't believe in glue or tape.
Good diet and wait and see.
They may still stand on their own.
I am curious about the tie outs on the posts.
Are they waiting for a workout, posing for pictures?
What is the purpose for this, If you could explain. |

| I did give her Osteocart, not sure if that played apart but we are good |

do not worry, pup is only 6 mo old
start giving 1500mg of calcium with vitamin D per day (per my vet) with food until ears are up, just buy them in pharmacy or grossery store
I had pups with ears going up only after 8 mo old, the larger bones structure dog have the later ears go up
my very big boy had ears starting to go up at 8.5 mo old, now they are perfect and very strong and firm
my very large bone structured girl 7.5 mo old and ears are just now started to struggle to get up
calcium plus D is the key |

Gil, your pictures are showing up as very large.
If you want to fix this, select 'edit post', then right-click on the photo. Select 'properties', then when the edit box pops up, re-size the width of the picture to around 400-500 pixlels. The height will resize automatically.
It's hard to read posts when the picture is stretching the screen. 
My friend had a male with a weak ear. She braced the inside of the ear with moleskin and Breath Right nasal strips. It's still a bit weak, but does stand up fully when he's interested in something.
You have to brace the ear where the crease is, or the crease will become permanent, and the ear will never stand. |

| My GSD is 5 months old..He goes nuts if something is in his ears..I am having a hard time taping them..They are strong at the bases, then flop to the side.. |

|
| Why does everybody panic when puppy ears don't stand? If the dog is close to a year, that's a different story. If the ears end up flopping, well, then they should flop. It's akin to having breast augmentation at age 13! Have patience and give them a chance, leave the poor pup's ears alone. |

DON'T WAIT AND TAPE IT FAST!!!
IT IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT WHEN THE EAR HAS A EXTERIOR FOLD LIKE YOUR DOG...I WOULDN'T WAIT CAUSE IT WILL REMAIN AND NEVER BE REALLY STRAIT..
JUST MY TWO CENTS..
JULIE
OH AND BY THE WAY..CALCIUM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT..THERE IS NO BONE IN THE EARS..JUST CARTILAGE AND CALCIUM HAS NO EFFECT ON THAT..IF YOU WANT PROBLEM..GIVE CALCIUM!

|
|
| Give a good knuckle bone, it has less to do with calcium (although it's good for them in general) and more to do with strenghtening the muscles that hold the ears erect. |

So many differing ideas 
Personally, I'd be nervous if my dogs ears were not up by 6 months. I've never had one down longer than 3.5 so that'd by why.  |
