I have multiple questions concerning my 13 week old westie puppy ... They are both about ears ..:)
1) She still has floppy ears .. is this normal?
2) When her ears do straighten out, they'd be really big compared to her head, so I was wondering ... do westies ears grow anymore than what they are now?
if that makes sense ....
1.) Normally, your pup's ears will stand up within three months, although it may rarely take up to six months for the cartilage to become strong enough to hold the ears up. It is normal since your pup is very young.
2.) The ears may or may not grow but you don't have to worry.

The ears will stand up on their own, sometimes it takes a while.
I had two Westies, one was simply a backyard breeders litter and his ears were huge, and then the second one came from a breeder that was actually showing her dogs, and his ears were normal size.
Start training your westie right now as they have a tendency to go their own way and do their own thing so she needs to know now that certain things are not acceptable, not now, not ever. Being consistent with the breed is the answer to all the training. When you say "sit", it means sit now, sit tomorrow, sit next week, sit whenever I say so, and don't ever ask her to do anything you can not enforce or you will have a problem. Enjoy, they are basically delightful fun loving dogs even though they can be difficult to train.

I'm sure she'll be fine, and she'll probably still grow a bit, so dont worry about the size of the ears
1. It is normal, she is still a baby.
2. She is going to grow into her ears don't worry.
