a lot of people have luck with the breathright strips. They are stiff, but not so stiff as to be miserable. I have never dealt with floppy ears and probably wouldn't bother to fix them if I had them, but yea, I have heard of a lot of people who have successfully taped the ears until they were up. Surgical tape and breathright strips are the tools of choice among breeders right now for this. Marsha

The breeder did tell me her dad's ears are perky, but her mom's are bit floppy. So...Nina may end up with not so perky ears. I was just wondering, though...the vet said sometimes people tape their ears up with popsicle sticks to get them to stand up. (I'm not so keen on that idea....sounds uncomfortable.) The breeder mentioned some people just use tape. Anyone have any feedback on that? I don't want to do anything that would be cruel or uncomfortable to Nina, though. Let me know when you get pics of BBG posted, Marilyn!
