My 7 month old male ears are still not standing on their own. Im trying a new method of taping today to try and get them standing. Also, you pup is going to be teething till at least 6 -7 months old. As they are teething, their cartiledge in their ears stays soft. After teething, theoretically they are supposed to start standin. My pup has been done teething for a month now and they are still floppy. So, long story short, your prolly going to be dealing with floppy ears unless you tape them now and mold them early. The technique could be found on my thread by another memeber, its the 7 month old 100 lb thread. I used 5/8 backer rod but if your pup is still small then u can use 1/2. The backer rod was very easy to find in the windows and door section of home depot or any hardware store. Im also using Mueller Athletic coach tape to tape them. Hope this helps!
