don't even worry about that my pup sometimes his ears fall forward and he looks like one those lil mutts with the flappy ears and other days they stand up. Like make a sudden noise to get him to find it I bet his ears go straight up right? if not then maybe if you had them clipped they weren't done right and you need to go to a vet and find out whats wrong with your little ones ears.

I had exactly the same problem when my 2 pitbulls where young pupps. I couldn't do nothing about it, and I also hated it as well. They basically grow up with their ears like that. The only remedy was to get their ears cropped when they were 3.5 months old. Getting their ears cropped is the best solution to the problem (if you don't like the way their ears will look for the rest of their lives.)

If your puppy is still really young don't worry about it, it can take them awhile to stand up on their own. My dog is not a pit but she had super floppy ears when she was little and by the time she was about 6 months or so both ears were standing straight up.
Also I personally wouldn't recommend having your puppy's ears cropped, it is supposed to be one of the most painful things you can do to a dog. But that is just my opinion!
Good Luck with your pup!

I would wait until the pup was a year old before worrying to much. Some people will crop the ears on the pits.

He'll probably outgrow that as he gets older since so you rarely see that in grown dogs, only puppies. Right now his ear is light and as he grows and the flap becomes thicker it should begin to hang down correctly.

my cousin had a similar problem with her yorkie and me with one of my silkys ears.. she gave me the idea of take strong paper..cutting it the size of the hears and putting it around the ear like a cone and taping it so it would stay closed..if the dog is active the little cone paper thingy mike come off..but thats all i've ever heard of when it comes to floppy ears

Your pit bulls ears wont stand up on their own unless they have been cropped..

Have the ears been cropped? If not they may have to be. Call the vet and ask them what you can use.
