Nico has one ear up and one down. Tomorrow he goes to get groomed. I really like the way he looks. Is there anything they might do to get the ear to stand up and if so, what should I tell them. I dont want them to make the ear stand up. Thanks.

Shaving the ear will make it stand up. If you want the ear to stay "floppy" tell the groomer to "tip" the "up" ear, and just very slightly trim the "floppy" ear. This will keep one up and one down.
As a groomer I do this for a few people who like the up and down look. I think it is cute too. :~))

I can't help you much but Toto's ears have always been floppy. He could hold them up if he wanted to. I like the floppy ear look. BTY, your baby is gorgeous.
