Hello

Stella is lovely! Yes, her ears are tipped now but they likely won't stay that way. Most Sheltie puppy ears creep up until they're standing up as they teethe -- from 3 to around 9 months. If you'd like her ears to stay tipped like they are now, you'll need to brace them with glue or tape. It's best to start that before they begin creeping up. Her breeder should be able to help you with this, or even do it for you if you're close enough. Otherwise, there are some great how-to tutorials here and online.

You may be one of the lucky ones with a dog whose ears are naturally tipped, but there aren't too many of them!
