| What do u think? I was wondering what everyone think about taping the ears! I've hear mixed reviews! What do you think? And if you do tape the ear when do you do it? |

| Taping ears is ok. If you want a pups ears to stand and they wont, taping is about the only way to get them up if you have tried shaving them. Usually they will go up in about 2 weeks. If they are not standing by 16 weeks, I will tape them. |

| I think it's perfectly safe as long as you make sure you don't use tape that is to sticky. If you do it's really hard to get off their ears.

| ears I trim them at mid point at 5 or 6 weeks...tape at 10 weeks if they are not up... Since the standard states that the ears be erect, it is the breeders duty to do all they can to insure they will stand..JMO |

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | I see no problem in taping puppies ears in order to get them to stand erect. I agree with YorkieRose in that the breeder should do all they can insure that they will stand. I have done it before with no problems.
