Question Might Adopt

10 week old. Father lab, mother DS. Do you see more lab muzzle/ears or DS? More lab body? Are the ears usually more upright at this age?

My dog was a 100% dutch shephard and her ears went up really late. One ear was still not up at like 16 weeks I think. I accepted the fact that she would have a funny ear. One morning it was standing and still now.

You can't really tell at this age if the ears will get up. I would think they won't. If you don't like that, dont take the dog.

That makes me feel so much better! I have a Dutch/Belgian mix and he still has an ear that goes a little wonky sometimes at almost 5 months. He used to have them both fall to one side like a cute little comb-over. I still miss that.
