I think they are to short. I brought a picture with me and to me it looks nothing like how they should look. [emoji53]

They're a little short, but not too bad. And they have some curve to them, so at least they're not a straight triangle. They should be easy to get to stand. And you can also keep stretching them up and out when you post, that'll help like them a little bit and they will grow with his head as well.sigpic

To crop properly is truly an art. It's getting much more difficult to find vets that know what they're doing. Your boys ears do look kind of short to me, but you definitely won't have crop flop...which is great.

Yeah, they'll grow a little, but not much. Riddle looked like a goofball with giant ears as a puppy:

And still only has a medium length crop as an adult:

I was trying to make the OP feel a little better about her puppy, guys...Afterall, there's nothing that can be done now, is there?
I'm sure he will be very handsome no matter if his ears are a bit shorter than what most dane people think is "correct".Tracy
