yes, they will lay down on their own in time,she's only 15 weeks. for a time she will have one up, and one down, she will go through teething, and that will affect her ears for a while, but all in good time, they will go down, and be normal, and she will be fine; for now, enjoy the cuteness of it all.

When I got my aussie pup I was told that his ears would rest down with age and they did.

We have two Aussies. We picked them out at 8 weeks and their ears were down. When we got them at 11 weeks, they were still down and have not changed.

I hope someone as an answer for you.

Aussie Ears

Your Aussie puppies ears will probably not lay down if they are sticking straight up.
There are some ways to get them down...at this point it is teething that makes their ears do weird things. It is very hard to get straight up ears to lay down.
I can give you some suggestions, so e-mail me at goldringkennel@aol.com

20 week old ear problem
by: Kristi

My 20 week old mini blue merles right ear just stuck up yesterday out of nowhere! It looks so ridiculous as the left one is down and the right one sticks straight up all of the time. I called the vet and she said this is a problem with this breed and there is nothing that can be done? Can someone give me any other advise?

Standing up ears
by: Anonymous

My Mini Aussie's one ear went up at about 5 months for a couple of weeks then just as suddenly laid back down again.

Then at 8 months popped up again for three weeks then back down again. So wait it out and see what happens.

Some Aussies' ears stand up, so it's up to chance.
