Aww Bless Lovely picture Thanks for sharing x

Not all Cresteds need taped. Taping should only be needed on larger/ more heavily fringed eared pups. True Hairless ears are up and stay up due to the fact they are usually smaller looking in size and sparse fringing.
Also it should only require one piece of tape at base as that will stop the fold happening. One piece of tape just along inside of ear works as well. There should be no need for excessive tape covering all an ear as this imo may mean the pup has thin leathers so will never have strong ears no matter what ya do.See pic below regarding one piece at base

Again - fair do's - just don't agree.

Clo - your pup is lovely what ever. I hope you have fun with him

wow Lynda, your girlie is looking smashing! Her ears are exactly the same as her sisters, but opposit colours! Get some piccies of her standing pretty please, an Il get some more of your Diz in the next few days

(sorry chloe to go off topic).

thanks for the crestnut. she did say they might need bridging. i havent got any of the tape in, completely forgot about that on the puppy list. will have to get some in asap.

hes doign great now, his left one came down and is now going back up but his right is down. so i will do it before they stay down. daph had to have hers bridged cos she had soo much hair on her ears

No probs PM me if ya need any tape

LOL There ears are some size. Sire's brother Buddy had huge ears so must have taken after their Unc Bud

Totally agree BenMcFuz.... you should not have to manipulate features to fit a standard if its not already there. Let the pups keep the ears the way they naturally would be if left to their own devices

Already posted about this Its for support until the cartilage strengthens, especially during teething

I still think it is manipulation - often puppies ears are all over the place and they will find their final position all by themselves if left alone - whether it is what the breed standard demands or not. I still think the ears should be left to finish off wherever they would naturally want to be.
