These 2 photos are of Haska when she was younger. The ears have not changed much and she is now 10 months old. When relaxing the ears will separate and look fine. Here is a video of her this past weekend (please disregard the crazy prey barks, we have not worked her enough) I just wanted you to be able to see her ears in movement. http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn127/dogladyj/?action=view&current=haska2.flv

What are the chances of them correcting themselves at this age and how much of a fault is it? She was shown under a USA Kormeister at 6 months and he made no comment about the ears.

I have a female named Gypsy , she is now 2 . Her ears compleatly lopped over eachother and I was really worried as they stood up and where tipping in like that. Her Grandfather had a dimple in his ear and I had seen other puppies out of him with the dimples. They ended up nice and spaced and no dimples, they are actualy a little too wide on her head now, maybe because she has a big masculine fat head .

I know some people say NOT to mess with the ears, I had a very old Vet tell me to stroke the ears up and rub them inbetween your fingers like your milking a cows utters but up. The rubbing will cause the cartalige to "scar" and if you have ever had a cut or callous - that thickness is what is caused by the rubbing. My dogs love for me to rub there ears now , as puppies not so much.
Good luck ,

If those ears really bother you, just send her to me then you won't ever have to be bothered again. ; )

These appear to be nice ears, with a nice set. Unless the ear leather itself or the connective tissue is very weak, my guess is that these ears will be just fine once the dog is grown.

Doglady Honey.......The way that lil girl is working, I didn't even notice her ears. But hey, if its a problem to you, ship her to me, I'll be at the airport waiting. Just let me know when......
I had an American bred showline bitch her ears did the same thing until she was about 1yr old. They were called bonnet ears. Hers actually crossed over each other. I just massaged the ears outwards. Take time, but they went straight. She was a sable also. She is now.. CH. Rohan's Glass Slipper,OFA H&E,ROM

TY all for the replies. The ears seem strong enough, I have just never seen them tipping in at 10 months of age. Thank you also for the complements, she is out of our breeding and we think she is a dandy!
