No. Not standing ears are not normal at this age. The BASIC difference between CLC puppy and German Shepherd Dog puppy are in the ears.

"Basic difference between ears of GSD and CLC are already visible from the puppy time. While Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs have standing ears already with 4-5 weeks, the ears are small what base on positive influence of Wolf genes; the German Shepherd Dogs have standing ears between 4-6 months. In comparition with CLC ears the GSD ears are huge and longer than 1/6 of the height in withers. It means long ears base on the negative influence of German Shepherd Dog in the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog".
Even puppies form the "old Czech line" (very GSD-like line) have standing ears with 7-8 weeks. It means: if the ears are not standing by older puppies it can be caused by three things:
- the ears will be huge
- the dog do not get to right balanced food
- the dog have some problems with absorbing minerals and vitamines.
Sometimes the method used by breeders of German Shepherd Dogs with giving additions to the food will help. If not it is good to visit the vet...
