ehehhee. sorry took time to rebuild this PC of mine.

unsa gani tong akong first guess?

based on the pics, ako observation good color pigmentation. nails all black, no chalking and at a 3 months old female, wala nang milk chin(very good sign of good color), full black muzzle. also noticed youre using a leather flat collar on her even she's inside the cage. take it off when NOT needed.

on the other side, at 3 months neither of the ears are erected. try switching to a food that is high protein, less carbo, more calcium. if switching to a food source is not an option; try to supplement with calcium to supplement the needs of cartilage formation sa ear area.

hopefully it wont grow above normal hair length or long haired. based on the pics sa neck area niya starting to grow ang hair longer than the body coat. at that age, if naa pa ka pics nga ipa barog iya ears para ma klaro ang hair sa iyang ear area(particularly underneath the ear and back), better. kay long haired GSD tends to have long hairs visible at young age on those area such as neck, ears, behind the fore and hind leg(usually called FEATHERING or FEATHERS like Adult Golden Retrievers).

colar better use a choker, then put it on a CLOSE configuration(that will not choke the neck) try to search google for close and open setting of a choker collar. better choker since dili igang sa liog or ang ventilation sa skin better than the flats.

sa ears, yes there are gsd puppies na down pa even both ears at 5 months BUT even without taping the ears mo erect ra ug nindot nga pag ka erect. ang risk kasi sa ganito is that "what if" it reaches 5 months di pa rin naka erect, then hassle pa with taping and risk na hindi talaga tatayo. unlike with a puppy that as early as 3 months erect na; then you are already guaranteed both erected ears.

milk is generally a good calcium provider; however take note that most dogs are lactose intolerant. that is why cows milk on dogs at more gives negative effect than positive. not unless you will supplement it with milk that are lactose free like S26 lactose free or goats milk or those puppy/dog milk that can be purchased in pet shops/supply which are very costly to maintain. better supplement it instead with calcium vitamins.

with dog food; oks ang beef pro puppy in my experience with beef pro puppy. about sa food consumption; it really depends on the puppy or the dog. just like humans; some has faster metabolism than others. you'll be surprised to know that some dogs(large breed) that are over weight or obese even with only two cups a day will not lighten over months time. just like humans if genes or in the family na mga obese; even diet or very small ang food consumption dali ra gyud motambok. what i suggest is at that age, 1 cup a meal, given trice a day(3 cups in all, but the breeder should have told you this in the first place). if it grows thin/light, increase the consumption gradually adding a cup per day. if it goes obese then do the opposite.

long haired GSD is a serious fault on the conformation ring. better pa ang mo go higher or lower than the height standard kay minus or point deduction ra; with long haired dont waste the entry fee on joining the show if thats the case. some people desires long haired ones, some wants oversized ones; really depends on the owner or the person; but if you plan or aim a GSD to walk on the ring of course should stick to the breed standards. on GSD's conformation; coat length accepted is either short coat or plush coat(plush more preferred).

fortunately wala pa sad ko na agie ug pup nga wala ning barog ang ears. so wala ko ka try ug tape. about sa age on taping; hence i havent tried it, its NOT advisable to tape the ears of GSD under 5 months(based on my reading lang ni not my experience). possible daw kasi na ma break pa ang pag erect or will do more harm than good.

i dont know about massaging if it will do good.

based on my experience though; when you play with them, make noise or sounds that would interest them to listen to. then once you got their attention(lets say whistle) minimize the sound gradually so that they will be curious why the sound/noise was minimized so that they will try to exercise their muscles to open or erect their ears.
