Papo German Shepherd PuppyPapo German Shepherd Puppy Papo model 54039 Product Dimensions: 8 x 2 x 4 cm Age: 3 years and up German Shepherd puppies are born with floppy ears that eventually stand up as they grow.

The ears will usually stand up on their own by the time the puppy is around 6 months old. Hand painted and highly detailed.
