SKrava Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hey friends! I just have a question about my 14 week old red BC. One of her ears has started to stand completely erect and the other is still slightly floppy. Will they even out? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher7151 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Maybe, maybe not! But at 14 weeks she's just teasing you, you have another 6 or 7 months of crazy ear antics ahead of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptJack Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yeeep. My girl's 9 months old. We've had one up, one down. Both down. Both up. One up, the other one down. One up, one air planed. THIS WEEK. Most of the time they're both up and tipped but who the heck KNOWS. BC are weirdos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Beer Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 EARS!!! I love Border Collie Ears!! Bandit's did everything!! Up, down, one up, one down, the other one up, the other one down, wonky airplanes, flat airplanes, both up, both down, flopped forward. And just when I thought he had settled on the flat airplanes, they both went up straight!! And then when I thought both had settled on that, one went down, and the other stayed up. He fluctuated between that and both up for a while. Now he seems to have both up, but that one does flop down from time to time. Enjoy the ride! It's fun to watch them change and change and then change again. You will love whatever they settle on in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosikins Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 We need pictures to be sure. (You'll never know for sure until your dog grows up and even then she might decide to switch those ears up on you one day...but I would personally LOVE to see pictures of pup's uneven ears.) Weird ears are one of the cutest things about BCs, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Beer Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 What a little cutie!! Yeah, you have a LONG way to go before you will know what those ears are going to do!! Enjoy the ride! They . . . grow . . . up . . . FAST!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urge to herd Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 My departed Shoshone had a one up/one tipped set of ears. On the very rare occasion that they were both up, she looked startled. Ruth and SuperGibbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosikins Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 She looks like a little teddy bear! Love those ears!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFOSTER Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 What a cutie. Those ears are adorable! And I agree with mooskiins, she does look like a teddy bear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mum24dog Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Risk - 7 months left ear mostly up, other tipped but he does have a bit of control over what that one does, unlike 9 yo Kye who has right ear up and left down with no chance of it ever standing up unless the wind catches it.

SKrava Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Lol thank you! She's the sweetest. Here a pic of her a week ago with both ears tipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Maybe, maybe not! LOL That's exactly what I was going to write. I had one pup whose ears starting standing up when she was 7 weeks old and they went fully erect within a couple weeks and never wavered. But that's definitely the exception to the rule. Just enjoy their antics while she's deciding how to wear them. It'll be over before you know it and you'll miss the daily (hourly?) guessing game. Cute pup.

Cass C Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I love watching ears change! Lily is a year old and still can't decide how to wear her ears. Lyka seems to have settled on one up one down, which always gets a smile from the people she meets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Point Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 SKrava... Beautiful pup. Is she blue? She looks a lot like my little blue boy Juno. Funny, my wife and I were having this very discussion a few days ago about Juno's ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geonni banner Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 As someone said - you never know with Border Collie ears. Usually my dog has matching tipped ears. But every once in a while, BOING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKrava Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Update: Roxie's ears have now decided to both stand up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
