She's adorable! Very cute.
I'm like 98% sure the ears should stand naturally. Some lines have weaker ear cartilage than others. Even in my breed a lot of 7 week old puppies don't have prick ears. Zen's ears didn't go up fully until almost 4 months, and even then weren't solid until 6 months. I know he's an ACD, but still, a prick-eared breed.
I think it's becoming more like shelties, crested breeders will post the ears, or shave ear hair or both instead of giving the ears a chance to do it on their own. Some breeders don't post/tape/use moleskin until they see a problem.

No, their ears have to be taped. A lot of the time even after having their ears taped they don't stand.
She is really cute Pam, you must be really excited.
That little puffer girl is so adorable. I hope that she finds a good home. Does she have an underbite? Her pic looks exactly like Root did when he was a wee one. Almost like her lips are pursed ready to bark, but too relaxed for it to be the case.
(NOT trying to stir up crap. I am just honestly curious. We all know how I have a soft spot for underbites)

Yep, I've been talking quite a bit with a breeder in pa with hopes to get a puppy from her next summer and she has sent me pictures of her current litters. She tapes ALL of their ears, and she is a well known responsible breeder. She is also the one who told me that she has a hard time finding homes for the powder puffs because everyone seems to want a hairy hairless female.
I think she does have a little underbite, which makes me want her. She is just gorgeous!
ETA: I kept on racking my brain trying to figure out what was different about Panda, and now I have it! Foxy trimmed her up! lol I can't believe it took me so long.
