That is one good looking boy you have there. His ears are very good. The right ear has a bit of a curl that is very common (Princess has it) that could be lessened by a little more posting. (I have not done so).

Ya his right ear does curl a little bit but i don't want to torture him anymore with the posting. He still has quite a bit of growing to do he is only 5 months.

Don't be so sure!  A lot of times when they're teething, the ears will weaken again so don't throw away your posting supplies!  If you see any signs of weakness, put them back up.

Xander's left ear curls a bit but we've decided to let it be. 

Zeus is a gorgeous specimen of the breed.  Nice lookin' boy!

I went for a run with Zeus today and i noticed that the tip of the right ear, the ear that has a slight curve, wobbles when he runs while the left ear stays pretty rigid. Does the right ear require a slight tune-up? If so I do not have to post both ears using the method in the pic above right? What is the best method to use in order to tune up the tip of one ear?

Better safe than sorry, right?  You have this window of opportunity to correct it now while he's young.  Otherwise, you live with it not being entirely right for the rest of his life.  I have a bitch who has one ear that wobbles as you're describing and I wish I had taped it longer.  See, I'm not making that mistake again -- I'm still taping one ear on a 17 month old now.
