When I got Benji @ 3 months old, the breeder had his ears taped. I told her to remove the tape before I picked him up; I heard that ear taping wasn't the best method because it can decrease or alter blood circulation in the ear. I decided that I was not going to tape or shave Benji's ears.
During the next month or so, his ears went from both floppy, to one up one down, to the other up the other down, to half floppy half up, etc...Until finally his ears standed at 4 months old. Benji has 'big' ears with a lot of hair on them and they still stood up. I would say just to leave them be and if they are meant to stand, they will. Floppy eared Yorkies are cute either way! |
