It doesn't bother me, only the fact that I am concerned about health issues, as I have heard it can cause more problems if their ears are floppy.

So does your Teddy have his ears up and down?

As in the photo they are up.

My Teddy has never lifted his right up like that.

Is it a know genetic defect does anyone know?

Any health issues I should look for too?

I named mine Teddy because I collected Teddy Bears. His ears actually
with time seem like they want to stand but the ends flip over so he looks
like the flying nun. lol!

And the pic is of my Toby not Teddy...I have 2 regualar yorkies and
2 biewer yorkies. Teddy's are down, Toby's are up, Hanne's are up
and Indigo's are down. Teddy most commonly carries his like he's a bunny
rabbit. Where Indigo's look just like your Teddy's exactly. HIs were up
but fell and he's allergic to any sort of tape so we decided to just let
him be who he turned out to be.

And no I have never in his 3 years had any issues with his ears being
down.

Where genetics are concerned...I really can't say for certain since
I have seen many who's don't stand produce pups who's stand up
perfect.

Where in the UK are you from? I have a great pen pal from Bristol
who I actually met on here when I joined almost 3 years ago.
