Hello, I would like some opinions, below I have a picture of my 4 month old male cane corso I have posted his ears around 2 1/2 months and now they seem to be “touching each other”. Looking to correct them so they stand up right and proper

Hi. Been a while since I've visited here.

I've only owned Dobermans, but it's possible you have "pockets" going on there – where the ear pooches outward from the inside and the ear folds toward the center of the skull. If so, there is a method of posting that uses "bumpers" to push those pockets back outward.

That looks to me to be a somewhat longer crop than a Corso normally gets. I wonder if that is what is making things more difficult.

At what age was he cropped? Going by what you wrote, he was cropped at 6 weeks, which is pretty early.

There is a chance you will have to keep posting until he has gone through teething, by the way. Teething can make the ears droop or fall. I don't know how commonly Corso owners have to post through teething, but your guy's ears seem longer than the normal Corso crop. Or, maybe I'm misjudging the picture.
