I had one male whose ears stood at 4 months and one male who ears didn't totally stand until 1 1/2 years. If your dogs ears stand and don't flop after a day or so, he may be finished but like Whiskey said, lots of people like to post until the teething is done. You might at some point just run a strand of heavy tape around the center of the ear instead of doing a full blown post. His ears are nice.
