I love her ears gives her more personality in my opinion. I can't answer the questions you are asking but my thought is unless it is a problem for her don't mess with a good thing :)

My Punkin has one 'frenchie' ear too. Will post a pic later.

I say leave them be ... Because they're beautiful! Uniqueness add to their charm. :yes:

DON'T GLUE THE EARS!!!!!! Firstly, your bully is PERFECT!! Those ears are adorabull and she will grow into them!! My breeder mentioned to me at 6 weeks that she was going to glue Bogey's ears back to "make them perfect". I strongly asked her NOT to do it because I knew I would never show him, and I didn't care if they flopped a bit. Well, I went to pick him up at 8 weeks and one ear was glued! I was NOT happy. She said the glue would wear off and I could actually "pick it off". Well, 3 weeks later this ear is still glued solid and I started to try and pick it off, but it would not budge. My vet took a look at it and said I would have to be aggressive and peel it off, most likely taking some hair and skin with it. So,bit by bit I got it off, but he was raw and it looked like it was getting infected. Luckily he responded to some bacitracin, but I would NEVER let a breeder do this again!!

I gave up on trying to fix Greg's ears he has one tuliped ear and one stands straight up. I get the French Bulldog thing. Drives me crazy when people ask. Their face looks nothing like a French bulldog, but I've come to the conclusion that maybe those people just assume any bulldog is a French Bulldog. I always get asked if Greg is mixed because he's Black Trindle and he has that one Fox ear that pokes up. IMG_20200503_101349.jpg

I won't be showing her. I guess I just feel frustrated since the breeder told me she had perfect rose ears.. I didn't know better. Some people just take advantage of others in order to make money.. very sad.

I wanted her to look like an English Bulldog, not like a French Bulldog LOL :-)

But yes. she is adorable, very playfull and I love her color.

One more picture...

She is just perfect!! My son's EBD Ruger, had those floppy tulip ears, but as he got older, they fell and he looks just fine!! Give it time. I would never risk a surgical procedure for just looks. She is absolutely adorable!!!
