Hi everyone. My bulldog is 5 months old and her left ear literally flips backwards. I purposely pssh it forward but it automatically goes back. My breeder said it will eventually grow/ flip forward as she gets older. Has anyone ever heard of this? Do I need to worry about anything?

Very cute. I think she looks like a mix as well, which if she is, her ears will probably stay like that.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Sheā€™s definitely a full breed blue haired bulldog. I bought her from , in Ohio. Very reputable. Maybe itā€™s just her stage of growth at the moment? Iā€™ll keep posting pictures and updates and hopefully the ear has no issues. I do think itā€™s as cute as can be and definitely makes her look different LOL..

I edited your post as you canā€™t mention breeder names in threads.

What does it say about the ears in the breed standard of blue haired bulldog?

No idea. The breeder I bought her from says I have nothing to worry about but I figured asking on forums dedicated to English Bulldogs would be wise. It only started in the last month. As a puppy her ears were both down...

There is no blue hair in the english bulldog genes, so there is some other breed in those dogs other than english bulldog. There most likely is some other type of ears than bulldogs rose ears there aswell. Even pure blood english bulldogs can develope tulip ears and if mixed with another breed to get some colour you should know what breed it is.

We had a member in the past that bought an English Bulldog pup from
reputable breeder. As the pup grew so did his ears! Turned out that the
breeder's French Bulldog had mated with the EB female...things happen!
Breeder was ethical and made it right by reducing price ( offered another
EB but they loved the little guy. had bought him as companion to older EB
male and they were bonded. He was adorable!

Everyone is too kind with their input. Hopefully sheā€™ll have zero issues with her ear. Iā€™ll keep posting pics of her as she grows. I posted pics of her parents so unless there was an accident as you said she has beautiful genes!...6C898034-3398-4FF9-A794-BD69A76DA8E4.jpegB2C1D173-5A82-43AA-9678-AF9B87DA200A.jpeg
