I did a post about a year ago that my dog ears were floppy and I did a blood test on him and it came back 75% gsd.. do that have something to do with it?

I would say most definitely the ears not standing are a result of that.

Don't think you can be quite so 'definite' about it. Its certainly very likely to be a purely genetic cause, but that could also be true in a dog that is 100% GSD, it doesn't need to be a quarter some other breed to trigger it.

Read two concurrent threds on here:

"Floppy ears in German Shepherds - Genetical (sic) issue ?"

and

" Understanding genetics - please help me understand."       for quite a full discussion on what can cause soft ear carriage, including in the second thred a dog which is over 75% GSD (+ Alaskan Malamute).

Ok, the ears not standing COULD BE a result of a cross, but there are pure GSD that have ears standing problems too. But in a cross with a percent of 'other' it's a guessing game.

Yep, always is.

it's a mix-breed and his ears are down. What else is there to talk about? If the "other" is a basset hound what is the chance that the ears down are coming from GSD or Mali?
