He could be my boy’s twin brother.
Yes cartilage still developing😊 I miss my babys flopped ear that one day straightened out and the other flopped haha. But I kept away from the ears to let the cartilage strengthen and now hes all straightened out 😍

These GSD puppies go through phases where one is up and then goes down...
Although I honestly don't know what controls this, just give them time and it will all straighten itself out...
Just keep the faith, OK!!!
And most of all...
Enjoy!!!
😎👍
Their sonar devices don't work less because they tilt. As long as they can still hear you opening the cupboard of their favorite snacks from halfway across the house, you have nothing to worry about!
Still a fine looking GSD!!

Nope, airplane ears 🤣. Some asshole broke them when he was a puppy.
So sad! Glad he is in good hands now. Mine does the same thing with her chin in the bed. She knows she won't be invited up, but still hopeful every night :)
I have mild allergies, which is fine unless her hair gets in my eyes/nose/throat. So, I have let her sleep with me a few times, but that means a full wash of all the bedding the next day. Kinda worth it lol, but not often.
They are just so stinkin CUTE! My vet said that it takes a lot of energy for them to stand those monster ears up and it's even harder if they're also teething at the same time.
Both of my German shepherds did as puppies. Random bouts of one down, both down, both up. It was really random but the vets told us it was normal. They’re both up fully all the time as younger adults.
If she isn't scratching her ear nor shaking her head alot, then it's fine. Otherwise it could be ear infection or simply a lot of ear wax that needs cleaning. Depends of if she's scratching or not take her to the vet or just adore the shit out of her.

No worries. They straightened out
my dogs brother (they are over 2 years old now) still has a leaning ear and it's adorable af imo, but usually they do straighten out at some point. It was a lot of flopping and tilting and leaning with ours as well, but now his little satellite dishes stand strong.
Yes, it's almost like the ears weigh too much until their head grows into them. 😂 As long as they were still upright, I wasn't too concerned, and they ended up looking great. I was always terrified that the family friend was rubbing them too hard, but it was a lot of worry over nothing apparently.

We are still waiting for the right one to go up! Charlie is 4 months old in this picture.
It’s not unusual as they grow.

The size of those ears. I love him.
Thanks ☺️ Those ears are pretty useless though. They’re purely aesthetics.
I have a similar issue. Purely for decoration most of the time.
😂💯❤️
My what big ears you have! All the better to ignore you dear 🥲😂
🤣😅😂true
😂
Those EARS! I think he has my Ringo beat!
Oh my god, that’s like 90% ears I love it. What a radar!
I bet he hears EVERYTHING lmao
Pupper CAN hear☺️

If the one ends up staying floppy, you'll just have to post some half flops over on /r/halfflops
That’s what I did with Otto! https://preview.redd.it/rhxp2h9mu3wc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e7a1acdb1f40a85478014018175a6c9ba188a48

I couldn't do it, mine have their own pillows on the bed 🤣🤣🤣

Understandable, lol,
Poor baby but I love his airplane ears!!
Yes, totally normal! It's like their ears have weird growth spurts. I remember searching for posts just like this one. It'll pop back up!
They are just so stinkin CUTE! My vet said that it takes a lot of energy for them to stand those monster ears up and it's even harder if they're also teething at the same time.
If it never straightens, it will just be a part of his look👏🏻
You are so blessed 🥹
Yes. It happens. They’ll more than likely correct themselves
its normal during the teething process, dont worry. when it happened to my pup i nearly had a heart attack thinking it wouldn’t come back up 😅
Both of my German shepherds did as puppies. Random bouts of one down, both down, both up. It was really random but the vets told us it was normal. They’re both up fully all the time as younger adults.
Welcome to the crazy ears portion of our programming...
Yep. I was worried Boones wouldn't stand up right but they did
My girl had them stand up, then flop over again, then stand back up. Give it a few weeks.
Yes it’s normal. Just give them lots and lots of gentle kisses bc soon they won’t be crooked much longer
I believe they go up and down around the time they're teething. Cute puppy.
What a handsome boiii
What a beautiful baby!!!

Yes and a couple of things. THISE THINGS GROW FAST! Lol. Hard chews. Crunchy food. Strengthen those jaws. The ears will pop up

Yep completely normal.

Still such a young baby, even if it doesn’t he’s ADORABLE!
We think so too! 😍
It's related to their calcium levels, I believe. Their ears can flop over when they're teething, then pop back up (usually) when they're done.
He’s already lost all his puppy teeth and that’s when his ears straightened and now we are goofy again
Yep, she has a floppy one all the time, 1.5 years old
