: I read the forum on prick ears, but I still have a question, I bought a 8 weeks JRT. At first days his ears look very nice, but in last days is look like one ear is trying to “prick”, but right know I accept this prick level, only a small difference between one perfect ear and the other one. My question is: What time I need (age) to wait to see if the ears are going to stay in the position that are now? Or if with the following day will be more prick??
: Don´t worry I love my dog, but I pay a lot of money and Obviusly that I prefer a 100% JRT for all money that I pay for.

Hi Gustavo,

Your pup's ears may be whacky due to teething...however they may flop over and fly right. There are no guarantees with Jack Russells.

There's no such thing as a 100% JRT. Best thing to do is talk with the breeder, check out the the bloodlines and then decide if you want to buy a pup.
