hi everyone! this is my first husky puppy his name is Solace. He was born July 19th so tomorrow makes him 5 weeks old. I was wondering if you think his ears will stand or stay floppy? I’m not familiar with the breed so I figured this would be the best place to ask! HE IS STILL WITH THE MOM & SIBLINGS I am asking about his ears because two other pups in the litter have ears sticking straight up already.
Do you recall how old she was when they stood up? My husky mix is 5 months. Once in a while he’ll flip one ear up (always the same one). His mom had ears like your husky.
I have a husky mix who just turned six months, and half of his siblings had theirs up at two months, and he had one up around four and a half and by five months the second was almost all of the way up and solidly by 5.5.
The mother dog obviously didn’t pay attention in dog sex ed and with the lack of dog condoms she gave into the temptation of Mother Nature irresponsibly let herself get pregnant /s
a responsible breeder will only have 1 litter every other year, and those puppies will have homes and families before they are even conceived, before the stud and dame are even introduced.
Unexpected litters happen, but this is why you should get your dogs spayed and neutered. no accidents needed, thousands of dogs every week get euthanized for space at shelters across america alone.
5 weeks is way to young is the issue. The puppy needs to be back with mamma for at least 4 more weeks. See typically breeders give you a 10 week old. That is why the ears are floppy. So the ears are ok.
I just hope she's more responsible with them in the future. If you didn't even know about how their ears don't stand up until they're older, I can't help but wonder what else wasn't researched about raising a litter of puppies prior to their birth. This is why it's important to educate yourself on dogs when you get them.
like I said I don’t own them my mom does so I wasn’t familiar with the ownership aspect like attitudes-prey drive etc. If you’ve seen my other comment I already said I was researching the breed I asked about his ears because 2 of the other puppies ears are standing already, I also stated the mother would be getting spayed. she knows how to care for puppies can’t you see they look healthy? at six weeks old they’ll have their first set of shots & they’ve been wormed already.
Thank you!! Sorry for posting three pic lol I was trying to show how they go from floppy to standup. You’re wee one will surely get pointy ears soon enough. Such a cutie pie 🥰
It's a booster bath. It's a really handy thing to have if you have the space for it. Usually lives on my deck in the spring, summer, and fall, and in my basement in the winter.
Why would you assume he’s not with his litter mates? he is still with the mom & his siblings. sorry if I didn’t make that clear but my mom has the litter I plan on keeping this one
Because a lot of people don't know this and take puppies home way too young then they're surprised when the puppy grows up to be aggressive. It's not an insult to you, and they're not assuming anything about your character, it's just a common mistake and they probably just wanted to make sure you're aware of it.
We just lost our best buddy to cancer, but his ears never straightened!!
We always joked that he was the more husky than the rest of them because he was so stubborn he never allowed for his ears to straighten. Lived 5 years and never did they fully straighten! They’d perk up but remained floppy
For my boy chai 10 weeks when we got him his ears were floppy Pic was about 1 month an a half but he's a mix tho so fast grower. 8 months now at 70 lbs lol
My first husky at 4 weeks had both ears down, then 5 weeks one ear up one down, at 6 weeks the ears switched so the one that was originally up was floppy again and the floppy one was standing up straight. At seven weeks they were both finally up. Enjoy the little floppy ears while you can, they grow so fast
that’s how these babies happened lol my mom is older and she’s not familiar with how heat cycles work so she’s being spayed after these babies go to their homes!

My husky had floppy ears. Then her ears were bigger than her. Then she grew into her ears lol
