We just got a puppy bullie and my in-laws got his brother! They are ten weeks old and still have floppy ears. I have begun taping my dog's ears. Any other suggestions to help speed along the process?
Congratulations! If you type "ears" in the fund box above your name and do a search you will find tons of stories, solutions which include Knox Gelatin, cottage cheese and a bunch of helpful experiences... Post photos, we love photos, especially of little bullies that are going to drive you nuts the next 6 months until you are nuts in love with him!

Bianca's ears didn't fully stand up until she was 16 weeks. We didn't tape them but did feed her two tablespoons of cottage cheese a day. This is my beauty at 8 months :x
They're so cute! Are you trying the cottage cheese or Knox yet? @philsergeant that naughty girl is trouble but boy oh boy does she know how to weasel her way right out of it with one look and a snuggle!
@Lucaseashby .... They have such quizzical faces.... I can hear them asking, "When the heck are Mom & Dad going to tape these big ears of ours?, We know we can be the best looking Bullies for miles around, we just need a little help"? !!!! Amazing how similar their frowns are!!! Can't wait for you to post the sucess story photos... meanwhile, if you want our opinion on the taping job, post those too.

Aww thanks phil! We certainly think she's a gorgeous girl "> i thought we might have to try taping but as we held out up they went. Literally her 16 week birthday we all woke up to her big girl ears.they did go a bit floppy during teething but they are sturdy now. We still give her cottage cheese with breakfast because she loves it
Yes! Already started ear taping and they are halfway up. Going to retape them after the vet today. And just started the cottage cheese regiment yesterday. He ate it quick
Here's Kane at 3 months and 11 days (today) with his big ears sticking straight up. I had considered taping them back when he was 10 weeks and his ears were still floppy, but I just let his ears come up on their own instead
