How long does it take for a Satsuma’s ears to stand up

When a Samoyed is 3 to 4 months old, his ears will gradually stand up. The final shape will be finalized between 6 and 8 months of age. Due to the effects of nurture and heredity, there is a big difference in the time when some Samoyeds erect ears, and some may be later. The erect ears also vary depending on the structure of the ears themselves. Generally speaking, small and thick ears will erect early, while large and thin ears will erect later.

The reason why Satsuma’s ears don’t stand up

Sickness or trauma, fright, etc. will cause temporary loss of ears. However, if there are no serious genetic problems (such as impure parent breeds, also loss of ears, etc.), it will become permanent. If the Samoyed’s ears still don’t erect after a few months of age, this proves that the dog’s body is deficient in calcium. The owner should immediately supplement Samoyed with calcium to help it stand up its ears.
