| Ears I've read many posts about rubbing rottweiler's ears so they have that nice flat look across the top. But never in these posts do they tell how to do the rubbing. Can ears revert back if you don't continue with the rubbing? Sometimes Holly's ears will have that nice flat look, other times they kinda look 'mutty' looking. I keep thinking I need to massage her ears to keep the muscles loosened up. If someone could send me ear instructions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance from Holly & me :)

| Hey, need to add to that question. How old is too late to get nice looking ears? Odin is a year old and no matter how much I massage those ears, they don't lay nice. Maybe I am doing it wrong?

| On pages 198 and 199 in the Complete Rottweiler by Muriel Freeman has the description and diagrams on how to massage the ears. Ears will "fly" during teething and if the ears are small or light(thin) they will continue to fold the wrong way and stay that way if the ears are not corrected. I have a bitch like that. Age is important. If the puppy is between 4 and 7 months old there is good chance at correcting it. Right now I have a seven month old puppy that has big, but very thin ears. One is being very stubborn about folding in. I have been massaging and taping it with weight. From 5-6 months the massaging and weight would correct it for a day or so, but then it would fold if he was under stress. Right now I have his ear taped and weighted with four washers at the end. Good luck!

| Thanks so much for responding fbkeays!! :) I have the Rottweiler Handbook, but may try to find the book you were talking about. But at least my 'ears' question is answered.
