I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Shaving the top third is the way you groom Yorkies, this also helps the ears stand, some people suggest taping, there's lots of instructions on how to do that, and some people suggest a gentle massage to encourage blood flow to the cartilage. I have to admit, I think one up and one down is cute.

| Sadie's ears were down and then one day one popped up! It stayed up by itself for probably two weeks before the other one finally popped up to join it! It was really cute with one up and one down but I like both up now. I rubbed her ears whenever I held her and didnt tape them or anything. I did keep the top part of her ears groomed so that it would help them stand up better. |
