We have an 8 month old smooth haired fox terrier.
Since about 4 mnths his ears have become pricked - on occasion one or both have flopped back down as per the breed standard, but are now permanently erect.
As he is predominately a pet this is not a major problem, but he does have very good breeding and several CC in his line, and had hoped to show him.
We have tried to tape them down (to try and train them down), but all he does is pull the tape off. I have heard you can 'glue' them but don't really fancy the idea.......we have tried massage and that does encourage them down, but as soon as he is excited they pop straight back up again!
Any thoughts?
