ears?

Go Back to General Bulldog Forum

All of you seasoned bully owners might think this is a silly question - but I am wondering about my pups ears. He has one that is droopy and folded over and one that is (what I call) "activated" - it's perky and is a proper bully ear. He's a smidge over 4 months old and the one ear "activated" about a month ago and the other still hasn't. Will he be lop-sided forever?

let's see?

Myka's ears should have been glued at 6 weeks but weren't and now they are her calling card. Not good if your planning to show, but who cares?? We love them.

here are some pics - this one is from a couple of weeks ago

Go ahead and keep gluing Vern's ear that is floppy. I think there is an article from the main page of this forum with instructions if you are unfamilar with how to do it.

A puppy will sometimes flop an ear when they are teething (4-6 months), even an ear that was perfect earlier. At that point I glue again and again if need be.

I vastly prefer the rose ear from long years of showing Bulldogs, but have also found that a Bullie that flops his ear down is often at greater risk of ear infections, just like a Spaniel or Hound dog, because a flopped over ear doesn't allow for good air circulation.
