I want my Yorkies ears standing erect. But I too, love the pictures of the floppy eared Yorkies. They almost look like a different breed, it changes their appearance so much. Even with a puppy the changes having to do with their ears are amazing.
When they start out their ears are down, then they may go any which way. I have a cute picture of Sadie where one flopped forward and one flopped backward. Then they either decide to flop together or stand erect. Occasionally you will get one that splits. But each change, completely changes the look of the pup.
All my puppies ears stood by themselves even before trimming. But without a trim their ears looked huge! When I trimmed this last little puppies ears, my son almost thought he was a different puppy. Nope, same one, just no more huge ears! LOL! I guess the ears are a very expressive part of the Yorkie. You can see a lot of different looks just with the change of the ears, up/down, trimmed/untrimmed.
Anyway you look at them though, you gotta love a Yorkie! |
