See how the base of the ear was cleaned up? That's a big reason why the ears are probably standing. I post ears for free if there's someone in my area that needs help - just as long as they buy the supplies. The puppies without the bases of the ears tightened and stitched are always the ones whose ears take forever to stand.

They also didn't leave much width to the ear, if that makes sense - this will help them stand too - less weight pulling the ears down.

Very little bell to the ear = the ear usually stands easier, and they look better.

Two puppies I've taped recently... BIG difference!

Wide ears, no base cleanup, these ears were hard to get up (and still aren't up as perfectly as I'd like them, but she's a much loved pet and not a show dog, so the owner decided this was good enough)


And a show puppy, with a fantastic thin/cleaned up base crop. It's not even a long crop, but it still looks fantastic.
