I have a 6 month old bitch who has had kaolin on her ears since they started to go up as the breeder advised, but last night in the rain it all came off and they are still tending to fly up. How long will I have to keep this on her, anyone had any similar problems?

You might need to keep going until she's finished teething - could be about 8 months.  Apart from the kaolin on the tip, make sure that you are rubbing in a good hand cream (Intensive Care) or lanolin, into the inside fold at least twice a day, to keep it supple.

We used to stick sticky sweets on them years ago, always seemed to work, but there again it was very rare that they had really pricked ears anyway.

Much more common these days!! It's not rare to see big kennels frantically folding them down in the ring!! ;)

Well that's not going to work if they live with other dogs! :D  In fact I could see mine doing their level best to eat their own ears :p

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU WHAT WE USE ON OUR PUPPIES IF THEY HAVE LIGHT EARS IS VASELINE COVERED WITH TALCUM POWDER YOU CAN TRY THIS BUT WE ONLY DO THIS ON YOUNG PUPPIES FROM AROUND 8 WEEKS OLD TO AROUND 6 MONTHS BY WHICH TIME THEIR SHOULD BE AN EAR FOLD AND ONLY APPLY THIS TO THE TOP 3RD OF THE EAR . KAOLIN IS A BIT MESSY AND SOMETIMES IT MAKES THE MUSTLE AT THE BACK OF THE EAR STRONGER BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA WEIGHT IF YOU NEED ANYMORE HELP REGARDING THIS PLS LEAVE ME WORD BY MAIL MY AFFIX IS JAYMARX

Goodness, do you really have to work on puppies ears at 8 weeks?  How were they bred?

val some breeders start when their puppies are teething but with my puppies i never have to put anything on their ears my rough collie puppies and dogs have heavy ears.And val some rough collie show people today with dogs of all ages still use substances on their dogs ears and only take it off prior to going in the show ring all this does is to strenghen up the muscle of the ear.

Thanks JAYMARX for replying.  This is what confused me
