You can guess... and go by parents sizes, but I would never guarantee something that isn't a for sure thing.. And as far as their ears, I know people want dogs that are "breed standard" but there are alot who don't care.. I don't care either way.. I don't show my dogs and never have any intention on doing so and that's all that's good for. I didn't shave their ears when they were pups because I didn't know you were supposed to. However, I did shave the ones I was going to keep and their ears were up in two days.. So, I guess I will just wait until someone comes along that loves them for who they are and not what their ears look like. ( didn't shave others ears because didn't want them to go to new homes looking silly) |
Shaving the hair off on the top 1/3 of the ear is part of the grooming standard. They will not look silly, and will help the ears stand.
I know some say they don't care about standard, but it is actually the "breed standard" that gives the look of the Yorkie we all fell in love with, even if you don't Show. Showing is not all that the breed standard is good for, pet homes deserve a well bred Yorkie too!
Good luck finding homes for your babies, I'm sure the economy hasn't helped!
