Taping puppies ears because they fall or never come up is quite common in young yorkies. Some yorkies ears never come up. The pads have millions of nerves that can be damaged very easiely. I'm not tryin to be sarcastic. I just know want my breeder told me. I know she separates potential show puppies so to prevent this from happening.Maybe she was wrong but she has lots of show dogs.She specifically said they could break from rough play. It make sense to me. Love to hear from others out there on this.
