Anyone know if it's normal for a norfolk cross puppy (10 wks) ears to be floppy for a couple of days and then to be quite erect the next. The thing I am worried about is that I have read somewhere it can be teeth problems but she seems to be fine.

It doesn't mean that your pup has teeth problems , pups ears do all sorts of strange things whilst they are losing their baby teeth and getting their adult teeth, once they have finished with all that then the ears will settle .

The ears of Elkhounds do this to whilst they are changing their teeth. Nothing wrong it is just a fact of life.

This also happened to my GSD they were both up the next day one down and stayed like it for another two week, but now they are both up at 17 weeks, so hopefully they will stay up. :-)

Thats really interesting. My Dobe pup had standard ears one day, the next day one was sticking out at right angles to her head. They stayed like that for a few days and now have settled down again. I didn't realise there was a reason for this:D
Thanks all

I thought it had something to do with teeth, just wasn't sure what. She looks ultra cute today as one ear is up and one down..

My breed (Rat Terriers) go through what we call "Ear wars", one day their up, the next down, then one up one down. Ive been told that once they start losing their puppy teeth the ears start to take more of the form they will be, due the calcium now being able to be diverted to other thnigs than teeth.
