Expert Posts: 1599	Okay GSD/Corgi? etc experts....I have a 6 month old heeler/Catahoula cross. His mom is a heeler and he basically looks like a blue merle heeler. So he's almost done teething, and some days his ears look like they will come up and some days they are for sure flopping over at the tips. I did tape them for 2 weeks while he was teething and they looked like they for sure would come up, so I quit because it's a PITA! BUT I REALLY WANT HIS EARS TO COME UP lol So is 6 months too late? Or should I just suck it up and go to taping? Or just wait?

Miss Southern Sunshine Posts: 7427 Location: South Central Florida	just a side note. I have a heeler, 9 years old. Last year he had a hematoma removed. Ear was down but I taped it for about 6 weeks (he has beautiful ears) and its been up ever since. When croping Great Dane ears...they had to be.done before 4 months or it was pretty much not going to happen. Good luck.
