A: Quick Answer. A German Shepherd's ears will stand up at different times depending on the dog; some puppy's ears beginning to stand up at 7 to 9 weeks old, while other wait until 5 to 6 months of age. At the end of the eighth month of a puppy's life, the puppy's ears will become permanently placed as the ear cartilage hardens, so owners who are not happy with floppy ears will need to speak with their veterinarian to correct them.
Generally speaking: Adult German Shepherd Males, as described in the AKC German Shepherd Standard, are 24 to 26 inches tall; female German Shepherds are 22 to 24 inches tall. It is also interesting to know that, as a breed, German Shepherds do not just stop growing at one year of age. In fact, I personally do not consider my German Shepherds to be adults until the males are between 2 1/2 - 3 years of age and for the females to be over 2 years old.
