Answer #1

they will come up, HINT that cartilage is soft so don’t play with the ears.

Answer #2

why so concerned with the ears. whether they stand up or not they can hear very well. you wanna make sure nothing is wrong with the noses cause they have great noses. plus dogs can make ears stand up or flap.

Answer #3

sigh.

They should come up between 8 weeks and 6 months. If not, you may need to tape them to get them to grow up. This site should help.

Ps- why so elitist about the puppy “looking” purebred? Nothing is wrong with mixed dogs, in fact they are usually healthier and live longer.
