The Sheltie is a breed of dog that was born with droopy ears, and it is generally impossible to have naturally standing ears, so if you need to get your Sheltie to stand up, you will have to go to the vet for ear surgery. Shelties belong to the terrier breed because their ear canals have a complex structure and are filled with hard, stringy hair that does not fall out. This often irritates their delicate ear canals, and can lead to many ear diseases due to the growth of bacteria. The best time to perform ear surgery on a Sheltie is when the dog is 2-4 months old, when it is easy to perform the surgery, quick to recover, and causes the least damage to the dog.
