Yell, I would tape it up with a stick and duck tape. Next time, buy a GSD and his ears will stand on their own. Your dog is not a pure breed dog by viewing the photos.

what an ass just asking for an opinion not a pet inspection.

I would give him till he was 6 months. if the ear isn't up by then, then I would tape it. 4 months is still young and its normal for ears to be in between stages.
and yes, the above comment was very rude.

If he were in my place I wouldn't wait a second to tape it..I'll tell you why..
When the ears make an outside fold it is very hard to correct if you wait and sometimes will remain. If the ears fold in front or on the inside I wait..but never when it looks like that.
Sometimes it just takes a week or two and they are erect when you tape it..It looks like it need a little help :))

I agree with july9000,
Don't wait....he does show a crease in that ear....
Your puppy looks like "genetically" his ears want to stand.......so do what you can to help.
Best of luck....pm me if you need more help in doing so.

Normally I would say wait a couple of months but I agree this time with the majority. The crease in the ear is worrisome so I would tape it. Full blooded or not, he is adorable and any dog with even a smidgeon of GSD in it is going to be a super friend to the end. Enjoy him for all he's worth.

I would have to change my stance and agree with the other people. tape his ear now. if his ear was standing at the base, and just the tip was flopped, then I would consider waiting.

Molotov,
I don't know what to tell you on the ear...I'd take the advice and tape it if it were me and I was concerned about the ear standing up.
The point of my response to you is to ignore justice...This person seems to be hyper-critical of other people's dogs, especially for no good reason. I don't know whether your pup is purebred or not, but it doesn't matter either way. You love him, that's what matters, so ignore the nastiness of the poster above. He looks like a real sweet dog, so have fun, enjoy him, and best of luck with that ear.
And Justice...if you want to do that username justice, why don't you stop acting holier than thou and treating people the way you do?

thanks all for the great advice. he is a good boy, my pup is not full breed GSD mom was full breed dad was GSD/Chech wolf dog. I went ahead and taped his ear, we will see if that solves the issue.
