That was an interesting comment about the ear. I didn't know about that. Ta for the info  :)

I had never come across that info before either. It's always been known as German Shepherd puppy ears. :D

Gosh - she HAS grown!

Re the ears - I have had the opposite problem after my puppy has teethed! Her ears are supposed to fold over but have now pricked up and don't seem like they will go down now! Apparently it is common for a number of dog breeds that their ears go all over the place during teething and I have read somewhere that it could be due to the calcium being used to form the new teeth? After reading about the lengths that some breeders go to to get the ears to "set properly" (gluing them into place with Copydex?! Using Gaffer tape?!) we will just wait and see what they do naturally.

Anyway I think Kira's floppy ear adds extra cuteness!  :D

The breeder has advised to give Kira cottage cheese for extra calcium to help with the ear. It is still very early days for her ears to be up, it can take anytime up to 6 months. The second ear stands up occasionally with just the tip bent over, very cute!

Adorable - just like my Poppy was at that age. She loved to tip up the water bowl too.  :lol:
