Fy mums Sheltie has standing up ears and the breeder was horrified to see this so advised putting chewing gum on the ends to help them flop down. Eventually they will fall naturally. This is not the case.  In all all honesty it gives him huge charector. But my mum does not want to upset the breeder as she is very proud of all of her dogs.

Fy, MY even. <smacks hand for poor spelling>

Have heard of worse - met a sheltie pup once whose ears were superglued down! But the dog didn't seem bothered so I let the man walk away without a headache! :p
