I just recently heard about gluing shelties ears when I took CoCo to the vet. A woman who I guess bred shelties saw CoCo and asked if I glued her ears. When I responded with no, she told me I should be proud of CoCo's ears that they are begining to stand up beautifuly. She then told me about gluing ears and well I'm not a hundred precent sure that I wish to do it. I love the look of the floped over ears but at the same time I dont want to "alter" the way she is supposed to be..if that makes sense? So I'm kinda sitting on the fence about gluing her ears.

I dont know what do you all think? Mind you yes CoCo is only 10wks old so they are gonna be really floppy right now. I took these pictures today. Another question would be when should I start looking into gluing her ears?

I can't give you an answer regarding the ears since my boy has prick ears. But, Jake is a very very handsome boy.:smile2:

Oooooooo I have been glueing and fussing around with Jake's ears since 10 weeks. He's now approaching 10 months and his ears are still too high.

Do you think now is the time to accept this is how they will be?

I suppose at least they are tipped slightly but I know not as much as they should be :(

I think they are ok...Its hard to tell from the picture but they look good. Remember according to standard only 1/3 tip of ear is supposed to be tipped...there has been a trend where we are seeing 1/2 ear tipped which is too much...Look at todays collies they tend to be keeping with the 1/3 tip which when I look at it seems to high but is actually correct.

I'm with Lightplum! I think they look pretty good! If you are not planning on showing, I would do yourself a favour and leave them alone! AT 10 months they are not likely to start to prick.
 
Aww thank you, thats made me feel better about them :yes:

Yes sorry, not a good photo, but he still barks at the camera so his ears go back, this is one of the few face ones and even then they have gone sideways a little lol.

Thats the thing Barb, I have shown him twice and have another booked in march...
 
Thank you Crystal :smile2:

He didnt do too bad, his first show he got 2 x 2nds, his second show he got Best Puppy in Breed and Group 3 Pastoral which was good :yes: so pleased with him so far.
