A dog's ears can change their natural set, particularly as a puppy. I would suspect your dog is quite young and that his ears were floppy but now are starting to firm up and stay upright. This is a function of development - the cartilage in the ear was not mature enough to support the ear in the upright position when the puppy was younger, but now the cartilage is strong enough to keep the ear upright.

Why do people clip their pit bulls ears?
There are essentially two grounds for ear-cropping in dogs. The first and most widespread is cosmetic in certain breeds of dogs where these dogs are typically shown at exhibitions or competitions and where the cropped ear remains in the breed standard; the second is sanitary in working breeds where the dogs ears are otherwise vulnerable to serious injury. In the latter not only is the working dog saved significant pain and discomfort in the field, there is not need to continually administer potent antibiotics to counter infections. Outlawing clinical practice has forced the surgery 'underground' in many countries.

Why are pit bulls ears cropped?
Just a guess, but it may be a holdover from dog fighting. Ears and tails may have been cropped because they were liabilities.That is an incorrect answer. The Pit Bull was a game dog originally used for hunting large game. The ears were cropped due to the fact that big ears make handles that can be torn and cause bleeding. AS for the "Fighting" you are way off base. Cropped Ears arent commonly found on "Fighting" Dogs as it leaves the ear opened and exposed which can lead to infection. Also tail docking in Fighting dogs...Also a NO a dogs tail gives them natural balance so Fighters didnt have their tail docked. Please if you are going to answer a question know what your talking people ask questions for a real answer not someone prejudice.
