| Welcom to YT. I think if they are not standing by now, they probably won't. However, my friend breeds Yorkies and she says it is still possible with appropriate grooming of the ears and taping. She said it is possible, but not probable. You can give it a try! I bet she looks adorable with little floppy ears! I was actually a little disappointed when Rocky's ear decided to stand at full attention! I just thought he looked soooo cute! Good luck! |

| Welcome to YorkieTalk! Does your yorkie have lots of hair on her ears? Sometimes when the hair is grown out it will weigh them down and make them flop over and a trim/shave of the top 1/4 of the ear will help them pop up. But if there isnt much hair on them it might be how they will stay. I am sure your yorkie is adorable with her ears down or up having their ears down reminds me so much of when my two were puppies! I think its really cute!

| You can try to tape them to see if it works.I've also heard that 6mths is the deadline.But you have nothing to lose.I'm sure he still looks adorable.I wish Baby's ears would flop back down.He looked so cute when it was.I wish he was a puppy again.

| I took my 7mo. old Oscar to the groomer the other day. She said his cartilege wasn't thick enough for his ears to stand. That's okay though 'cause I think he's adorable with floppy ears... |

| Thank u guys... Awwww What a wonderful warm welcome. I appreciate all the replies. I guess the majority rules, so floppy they are and will stay. LOL I'm so glad to be a part of the board. Now I can talk Yorkie talk and won't get on noone's nerves. My friends think that we're crazy for loving our Yorkie so much. |
