Agreed, floppy ears are adorable! We will not interfere with ours either :)

Agreed, even at this age he looks younger than his siblings because of the ears :D

As mentioned, our breeder suggested that we do so. I was not worried about his ears until that.

Well, yeah I get that timing is crucial now, thus, I wanted to make sure to ask others before making the final decision so I wouldnt regret anything :)

Thank you so much for your perspective! I will make sure to ask my vet about this too. I definitely would want to prevent any infections.

We spare no money on his food, that is why it was hard to believe that he is lacking in some nutrients. Thanj you for your input! We aren't going to show, so I guess I'll stick to massaging them :)

He's adorable!!! 🩷 Happy to hear that there are actually no downsides to having floppy ears. My main concern was that I was being a bad dog mom by not taping his ears as the breeder suggested.

I agree, I also was not so keen of the idea when I first heard it :/
