Guest mansbestfriend Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 doesnt matter why.just wondering if it can be done Quote Link to post
Guest Dillon Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 They can be dropped but it will cost a few quid, not somethiong you need or want to do to a working dog, as we know vets will do anything for money, My Patt bitch had ears folded over perfectly when she was younger and now they prick up, what the f**k she doesn't go to shows she is a working dog, and the foxes don't think any less of her for it All the best Dillon Quote Link to post
Bantam cock 1 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Prick ears or not Mik thats a wonderful looking beast of a dog,whats the breeding ? Prick ears can be dropped at an early age using chiropidy felt on the ends to weigh them down, if a vet does it, it will cost you a lot of money for nothing other than a few bits of silk lol Quote Link to post
nuv 2 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 My mate's Lakey had perfect ears and took a bite to the jaw; it's ear has stood up ever since. I don't know whether it was a nerve ending or what, but still an honourable working scar. Quote Link to post
Wilky 0 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Yes it can be done, I don't know whether a vet would do it or not, but I've done two black bitches of my own that carried a part pricked ear, it's virtually painless, just a quick squeak, but it won't make it work any better, just a bit more pleasing to look at and I only did mine because I could, it didn't really bother me one way or the other.

Fletcher 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 My 16 week old pup looks like one of his ears might stick up, about what age do the ears prick if they're going to? Quote Link to post
