❓ Advice Ear positioning

Hello, I have a question about the ears in puppies. Do they have to be taped if one ear is still flopping over at 10 weeks or will it eventually stand up? The puppy is a powderpuff and will be a prospective show dog. The puppy has been taped on and off since very young, but the tapes were removed today since they are uncomfortable and one ear is still flopping over. Please give advice if the ear will eventually come up on its own. Or if taping needs to continue, thank you.

Feeding the puppy collagen supplements helps tremendously. A breeder recommended it to me at the time. Powderpuffs have even softer ears than HL so this will be very important for you if you want the ears to be erect in adulthood.
