4 weeks was too early and likely illegal for him to leave his mom:-( I wouldn't worry a bit at this point about the ears. It is perfectly normal for some to be up and some not by now. I wouldn't worry till he starts hitting the one year mark. Also, don't be surprised if one day you find his ears standing straight up...and the next day back down again! lol 'Marsha

Got him in December when he was only 4 weeks old...he's quite the character and very healthy. I was wondering though...his ears do not stick up and I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on why that is? The other chi's in his litter all have the pointy ears, while his still droop down...any ideas?
