EB Ears

[Gabbiy01]

Hello,
Happy Tuesday!
I am going to be purchasing a puppy soon and he has one limp ear and one rose bud ear.
He will be 8 weeks when I get him.
His dad has big floppy ears, and his mom has rose bud ears.
I love the look of floppy ears, so is there I way to humanely and safely make the other more floppy?
TIA! :-)

A bulldog’s ears are supposed to be rosed per the AKC standard. Some will rose naturally and breeders that breed to the standard and show their dogs will glue the ears at 8 weeks to help them rose. I am not aware of any way to make a rosed ear unrose.

a lot of breeder

Ive seen videos breeders will use glue to form a rose bud till the cartilage forms. Then it‘s clean off. Doesn’t harm the dog either. But that’s up to you what you want to do.

The OP wants the floppy ears and is looking to make the rosed ear floppy.

Ideally, but I know his other floppy ear may rose bud.
It’s not a big big deal to me, just wasn’t sure if the glue method would work I’m a reverse way?
Like If I glue it down floppy will or stay floppy lol.
But then what if his other ear roses too.
I may just leave it.

If it were me, I would want the rose ears as I show my bulldogs and breed and support the AKC standard 100%.

It would be better to glue the flop ear to form a rose at this point. For aesthetics only, matching ears look best. I don't think you'd be able to form a flop ear from a natural rose ear.

Agreed -- no way to un rose an ear that I know of. Can we see a picture of you bully?
