At what age do German Shepherds’ ears stand up?
Expert Answer
German Shepherds generally have their ears stand up at about 3 months of age. If the ears stand up too early or too late, it may be due to malnutrition, so the owner should pay attention to supplementing the dog’s nutrition, for example by feeding egg yolks, goat milk and similar foods. Also, deworm the dog regularly to prevent parasites from absorbing its nutrients and affecting normal development.
If a German Shepherd still has not raised its ears after 6 months of age, it may be due to soft cartilage caused by a lack of calcium. You can give the dog some pet calcium tablets and take it outside more often for sunlight, which promotes calcium absorption.
