does anyone out there have any idea at what age an akita pups ears start to prick?

I'm guessing, but I would have thought they'd be similar to other breeds....I'd expect them up (or up-ish) by about 8 weeks.

I'm sure someone will be along to correct me if I'm wrong!

my pup is 9 weeks old and one ear is half up some times and the other one is down.i dont know if i am worrying about nothing or if they are going to stay like that.by the way she is the japanese type (akita-inu)

Don't worry too much just yet, my youngest mals ears was very late standing to attention :) If they aren't up in acouple of weeks time, ask your dogs breeder to show you how to tape them. It worked for me :D

Some Akita Ears Start going up at about 8-9 weeks, then they may flop down again, but soon after 9 weeks they should mostly be "UP"

thanks she is 10 weeks old now and they are both up
