Tell us about yourself: I have had a DS for almost a year. Gwen and I are considering participating in PSA and or possible Ring Sport. I also have a Great Dane. I have grown up around working GSDs and my last GSD was a working K9 officer. I am all about dogs and animals in general and want to learn as much as I can about training.

I don't know about all the teeth being in for your pup, but I can tell you Gwen's ears didn't fully stand until she was about 8months and even now her tips flop a bit when she runs. :dslook:

I love that picture :dssmile:

Sadie Is 6 months now and she has all of her teeth, Her ears were kind of thinking about standing, then they flopped backwards, so I put nose strips on the back of her ears, They are still there.

I have read that by 8 or so months they should be up, but im not sure of when the up vs not up really should be.

I had never heard of the correlation between new teeth and ears standing. Humm? With all of the GSD pups in the past, at about 5 months their ears were standing. I would start to be concerned at about 16 weeks (4 mos) if they didnt have any indication of direction. By 6 months, they were where they were going to be. Didnt realize that DS took longer. Something new!

everything I have read said, when they are done teething the ears will start standing.

By everything I have read, been told, experienced, when they start teething the ears might come down, if so, then they are back up about seven to eight months
