Rocky the Boston Terrier, his funny ears & his coat of many colours !

When I got Rocky his ears were up. A few days later they went down. One came back up, slowly followed by the other. Now both are up but the tips of them are curved backwards ! All the BTs I see online or in books have perfect ears, was wondering could those dogs have all had their ears taped up or had them cropped ( ouch )? LOL, I'm not too bothered as long as his lugs are ok tho !

Also when I got him he was a black & white. A few days later it looked as if his coat was going to turn seal. Now, just a few weeks on it looks like it's changing to brindle !

Is this just a normal puppy thing ? !

I'm amazed at how much his coat is changing colour ! His mom is brindle & his dad a b&w, hope my pup isn't going to end up 50/50 !

You've read my mind Shirley, I adore them too and would love to see pics!

Pups ear-carriages change lots when they are teething, don't worry about it.

I thought all Bostons were Black & White, didn't realize they could be Brindle too.

Yeah, b&w, seal or brindle. It's really surprised me how quickly he's changing colour. I will put some pics up for you both !
