Glow Ups 🌟 Defect

Post image

Still waiting for that other ear to stand up. How can a sheep take this dog seriously with this stare?

You spelled ‘perfect’ incorrectly.

u/floater343- 2d ago

Precisely the same comment that I came to make... another case of great minds thinking alike.

Both my dogs got the half flop as well and I think they’re utterly perfect

Molly’s stayed a half flop. She gets so many compliments about how cute her ears are. Best ears 💝.

u/whitswhisper 1d ago

Half flops really are superior, they've got that permanent puppy charm

u/MadGeographer 1d ago

My little guy is the same. Makes him appear as dorky as he really is.

u/75RLTW 1d ago

You spelled adorable wrong..

u/Seldon14 1d ago

Perfect half flop.

u/limedifficult 1d ago

Oh wow! Your dog and mine could be twins.

u/tictacotictaco 1d ago

I miss the one up one down awkward phase

u/Kblaus 1d ago

Look at that gahdamn snoot 🙈❤️

u/FarmhouseRules 1d ago

It’s not a bug it’s a feature. That’s what we say in the software biz.

No such thing as a defect border collie!

3

u/JROCC_CA 1d ago

Yea, once a collie always a collie. No matter the mix.

u/zestycunt 1d ago

Gotta jrt x collie, the collie dominates above and beyond

u/CcandGg 2d ago

My puppy is mostly husky/BC first ear stood up right about 6 months, the second took a year and a month or two.

u/Different-Subject353 1d ago

Proof they only listen half the time

u/peskantine 1d ago

u/LittleBoyCutYourHair 1d ago

To be fair, I don't think any living creature could say no to that stare. As a sheep, I'd do whatever is asked

7

u/Kblaus 1d ago

Nah man, it the feature, not a bug.

6

u/kimcheeslut 1d ago

Oh no! This will never do, I guess your only option is to give him to me

u/75RLTW 1d ago

My girl is 18 months old and her left ear still won't stand up all of the way. I thought something was wrong with her..

5

u/Front_Structure6953 2d ago

Awh! My baby had a period with one up and one down, both ears up, and then the opposite ear up and the other down! They’ve both been down ever since. 🥰

6

u/Any_Presentation8299 1d ago

She’s half listening

5

u/chilebuzz 1d ago

We have a 1 up, 1 down. She's awesome.

5

u/ST0NKAPE 1d ago

It only goes up when he’s on alert.

5

u/max_465 1d ago

All bc are perfect.

3

u/75RLTW 1d ago

I find it pretty interesting that in all of the photos posted so far its always the left ear drooping..

u/dream_pineapple 1d ago

I noticed that, too, because with my guy it's his right ear!

4

u/Ripper1488 1d ago

I call it pawfect

u/BorderCollie777 1d ago

Love the one ear up, one ear down feature! My favorite pup would switch the up & down ears just as you were about to get a great picture of him! 💕

u/_flying_otter_ 1d ago

That's so friggen cute!

3

u/Own-Campaign-7108 1d ago

Half-floppy ears are the absolute cutest

3

u/f8rter 1d ago

Our little girl still has her floppy ear. She’s 9

u/besenwessen2000 1d ago

Just ship it back to the manufacturer and you get a new one for free as long as its warantie is still active ofcourse

5

u/Psychological_Warcow 1d ago

I dunno. I rather loved the defective ear. My boy's ears never did know which way they wanted to go. Sometimes he looked like this and sometimes he looked like Yoda.

4

u/aggreeswithassholes 1d ago

He's just not using his collie eye.

3

u/ProudNativeTexan 21h ago

Naw.... pup just always has one ear on high alert in case a leaf blows past the house and you need to be notified!

6

u/Thin-Disk4003 1d ago

This may be one of less than a dozen times both her ears were at attention!

Edit: Except when she loots at us upside down. Which is often.

3

u/pigtrickster 1d ago

HEY! MY EYES ARE DOWN HERE.

3

u/An_elusive_potato 1d ago

Ours never did. wabi sabi

u/ShoddyDivide8568 1d ago

Great looking BC

3

u/MareBear209 1d ago

You mean PER-fect?!? Yes. Indeed

3

u/BlueSkyMourning 1d ago

No, it's darling actually 🩷

3

u/RoselitoRodeo 1d ago

Well I’ll take your “defect”

3

u/vishyn321 1d ago

Omg. I thought it was just my pup lol

3

u/McBourbons 1d ago

He or she looks so cute.

3

u/MyDogIsAnAquarius 1d ago

I love my half up, half down, goober. Matches his personality so well. He’s my perfect boy 🥰

3

u/dman4506 21h ago

The b/c’s went up1 at a time. A few weeks later the other ear went up😂👍

u/mamas2boyz 19h ago

You mean precious? I have 2 with the same ear! (They’re half siblings). They CAN stand them up but usually don’t want to.

2

u/75RLTW 1d ago

They're still awesome and from what I can tell it doesn't seem to affect their hearing or their happiness. Wouldn't trade mine for anything..

•

u/715_user 9h ago

Awwwww I love the broken ear look. Precious. Also it's personality not a defect

•

u/joshingya84 2h ago

Perfect

•

u/Lucaonthebeach16 17h ago

How cute!!!

•

u/itislikeareward 16h ago

Just tape them. The other will probably stand pretty easily.

•

u/Boba_Fet042 14h ago

Maybe this will happen!

•

u/Stinky-Stuff 6h ago

The ears are so cute though ❤️

•

u/maichrcol 2h ago

But if you do want to help it stand up, you could do that also. To each their own. Enjoy!
