That's to prevent a crease, that's not going to make ears with high cartilage become floppy!
Thor developed that crease too but his ears remain floppy but will fold back easily because of that crease.
You can see the crease in this pic...

See I love that pic! But look at Dallas' ears. It looks like she's gonna fly away. Is there anything I can do since she's so young?

 

[jtrippps]

No idea why that posted upside down lol

You may be able to prevent the crease but I'm not sure you can get it to flop down. I'm not sure exactly what that kind of ears are called but it is similar to rose ears!

You need the crease to create the triangle drop. If the ears are already rose it may not be prevented as usually you don't develop that until teething time.

The puppy and the little girl look adorable they will most likely be best buddies, no worries aboup people messing with her when that pup grows up

This is Dallas' big sister. See how her ears sit? The breeder says 30% of the puppies her mom throws comes out like Dallas'. I love this dogs ears

 

[DMikeM]

Yep, correct ears on that one.

 

[Th0r]

The crease has formed but the ears still flop forward which is normal!

Thanks for all the information and advice everyone. I started massaging Dallas' ears from weeks 16-20 and they are now corrected!!!!!

Awesome, Dallas' ears look really good. I wish I had know this with Jade but it's all a process or learning. Odi has good ears too just a little relaxed but they still have a good Triangle Drop.
