How do German Shepherds gain weight?

1. Caused by calcium deficiency
Corgi dogs’ ears that don’t stand upright may be caused by dietary problems. Although Corgis are petite in size, their calcium needs are correspondingly less. However, this does not mean that Corgis do not need to supplement calcium. Owners must also supplement Corgis with calcium regularly to help Corgis erect their ears faster. It is recommended that owners add some calcium powder to their daily dog food, or foods with high calcium content such as tofu, egg yolks, dried shrimps, kelp, and soy products, and mix them into the dog food and feed them to German Shepherd puppies.
2. Caused by slow development
Thirdly, the development of dogs will also have different situations, just like us humans, everyone is different, so the degree of development and growth will also be different. Some Corgis have a shorter development time, so their ears will erect earlier, while some Corgis will have a longer development time, and their ears will erect later.
3. Genetic reasons
Another reason is that some Corgi bloodlines are not particularly pure, so they may also have some problems when they grow and develop. Some owners may find that their Corgi's ears are not erect, and even after the growth stage, the ears are still drooping. In fact, this situation may be the result of impure blood. It may be because the other half of the corgi's bloodline is floppy-eared dog, so this situation is also normal and the owner does not need to worry.
