All those months of taping and they're starting to creep up. I don't want to have to tape them again and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't help. I started massaging them a few times a day for a minute. I don't think it's making a difference.
When Fluffy throws her head back really fast they appear prick. As long as her head isn't titled too far back they are tipped. I stopped worrying with them at about 8 months.
If it makes you feel better, and I know it will not!, Fluffy's does the same.
I have no doubt you did a better job on ears than I did, though.When Fluffy throws her head back really fast they appear prick. As long as her head isn't titled too far back they are tipped. I stopped worrying with them at about 8 months.
I'm like you though. I like the tipped look.![]()
Justice's ears are sometimes prick too. If he is excited one will stand up, if he is really excited both of them will be up. He is the only one is his litter who's ears tip at all though.

Really? I have heard that some people can't even get their shelties ears to tip at all. I never did get lucky with a natural tipper. Smudge had tipped ears to start with, but they quickly became large and in charge....
...and prick.![]()

I'm quite excited now to discover what ears my pup will have.

their ears flip out flat so they would appear prick...although its just the laws of gravity working with their ears...Thats why with showing them you want to make sure they keep their focus straight ahead and not looking up at you so it ruins their look with backward flipped ears
all mine with tipped ears if they throw their head far enough back...ie watching birds over their headtheir ears flip out flat so they would appear prick...although its just the laws of gravity working with their ears...Thats why with showing them you want to make sure they keep their focus straight ahead and not looking up at you so it ruins their look with backward flipped ears
