Generally speaking, French bulldogs will slowly start to erect their ears at 8-10 weeks after birth. Usually, one side is erected first, and then the other side is erected after a period of time. But this is just a general rule, and not all French fighting dogs will definitely have their ears erect at 8-10 weeks. Some dogs will erect their ears a week or two or even a month later, but they usually erect their ears before 8 months.
If the French Bulldog is already 8 months old and the ears have not yet stood up, it means that the French Bulldog has soft-eared genes and the ears will never stand up. Generally speaking, there are very few FaDou without erect ears, but special circumstances cannot be ruled out.
During the period when the dog’s ears are erect, he needs the help of calcium. If the owner feeds the dog food alone for a long time and cannot meet the dog's need for calcium, calcium deficiency will occur. In this regard, it is recommended that owners choose dog food with high calcium content and add some calcium powder appropriately. You can also mix foods with high calcium content with dog food and feed them to dogs, such as cooked egg yolks, dried shrimps, kelp and soy products. Among them, cooked egg yolks have the most calcium and are easier to absorb.
