I have a four month old chihuahua dachshund mix. He had the traditional dachshund ears that flop over and now his ears kinda crease down the middle the long way and kinda stick out.
Is there any way to tape them down so they can be trained to be floppy again? And before you say it's cruel and to accept my dog the way he is, I love him to death, I just love the floppy ears. Also, what will his grown up weight be? He's 5 lbs now and almost 5 months old.
Please leave his ears alone! Yes, I know you love him but afterall what can you expect with a mixed breed dog where one breed is born with perky pointed ears and the other floppy? He's going to be cute no matter what because he is what he is and, just like with people, it's the heart and personality that matter and not how one looks! From the bottom of my heart I am not trying to be mean but to make a point I have to ask, "Would your dog tape your ears if he wasn't happy about the way they look?"
I wouldn't worry. At 5 months old he is just a puppy. His ears my try to stand up, but I would bet that by the time he is grown, his ears will be too long to stand and will be floppy. Just give him lots of love and he will be fine.
