We're struggling with the same problem. Our babies are 14 weeks and only one ear up (each) and one down. We've been giving them Cottage Cheese with a sprinkling of Gelatin twice a day for about 3 weeks, with banana.... And all I can say is they love it..... willing to try anything to get the ears up. (I have never seen a Bully with down ears, so we remain hopeful. We have been giving them a heaped table spoon each.... We're about to start our 3rd taping.
In the beginning God created English Bull Terriers, in the image of EBT's, God created all other breeds.
ournewbull - Your best bet is to give him Knox gelatin mixed into his food. Continue with training the ears by taping them. Don't give up, the ears will stand on their own in due time. Every now and then you get a bull Terrier that has some difficult ears to train. Most ears go up on their own but others don't. It's good to be proactive about the training aspect early vice waiting too long for them to go up and finding out it's too late for productive training.

@ournewbull - The knox gelatin comes in pouches. Put one packet on the food per feeding. You only need to provide it once a day. It will help a lot. Between the gelatin and taping you shouldn't have any problems training the ears to stand on their own.

Well Marco's ears are finally up, at 14 1/2 weeks and after 3 x tapings... Knox Gelatin AND Cottage Cheese, .... I hope they stay up this time, the first two times they flopped after a day or so.
Steve was right, our male Hank needed his ears trained. We used two tampons one in each ear wrapped with sport tape. It trained his ears in only 3 days.
You got lucky Adrian. Many that wait that long with their fingers crossed end up wondering a year later if they should have taped and trained the ears to stand while staring at their full grown Bull Terrier.
