How old is he?

You also be careful of taping them.
1st Shave the backs of the ears to an upside down "V" shape.
2nd tape the ears, then connect the ears with tape in the center.
The tape in between the ears will hold each other up.
Depending on his age, it may take a few weeks. Be patient they will stand on their own, without cutting them.
I'll look up and PM you a website that has a diagram on how to do this.
The Vet sounds like he doesn't know Yorkie standards, never crop, never.
Good luck
I SO agree with this - These are VERY good directions on taping ears - Believe me...I jumped the gun on my first yorkie & my hubby tried to tape her ears... poor baby looked like she was wearing some kind of Space Hat....I took the tape off by the same night - her ears stood on their own -

yorkies don't have their ears cropped but IF for some reason they don't stand on their own or taped - your yorkie will be just adorable with his little floppy ears....many people's yorkies ears dont stand no matter what they tried ...they're still very cute and no big deal ...
