Like I said previously.
86% of all Collies born do NOT have naturally tipped ears, so untipped ears are natural. And no, there's no pain and no, it usually doesn't bother the pup but they DO come apart when they play, lick each other etc with other dogs and sleep and wallow around.
There are quite a number of different methods and one just doesn't put a dab of glue/cement on the ear tip and glue it to the inside of the ear leather, that will cause a creased, broken look effect, there has to be circulation between the ear leather and the tip. You glue/cement hairs to hairs basically for lack of a better description. And you should do it the same each time the ears need re-done or else the "training" just doesn't come out correctly. And BTW, most good breeders use a human type skin/surgery cement such as "Skin Bond".
