Does the border collie stand on its ear?

Border collies generally start to stand on their ears around 3-4 months of age, but there are many different kinds of ears, from fully standing to semi-standing, which are divided into 1/4 standing ears and 3/4 standing ears, and even folded ears, and this depends largely on parental genetics. Therefore, it is necessary to wait until the ear bones harden at 6-7 months of age to make a judgment. During the period of the Border Collie’s standing ears, the owner had better give it enhanced nutrition, especially calcium and protein supplement, the best choice is liquid calcium, calcium powder, cooked egg yolk, etc., more easily absorbed. The best appearance of purebred border shepherd, the ears are mostly somewhat drooping, mostly semi-erect ears, if it is fully erect, it may be genetic instability, or the parents’ pedigree is impure, so it is impossible to judge the pedigree simply by folding the ears. However, it is certain that most of the fully erect ears are out of order and cannot become a racing dog, and sometimes there may be a situation where one ear is fully erect and one ear is half erect.
