Large or long ears, wide ear leather, low set ears and erect ears are all dominant traits.

If you look at the old photos and drawings of the first Yorkies, some had prick and some had flop ears. A great many of them that showed prick ears were the result of ear cropping, though prick ears did also occur naturally.
It would be something I can look up or read from a professional. You gave me that with the name of a book, so it's something I can look up. I appreciate your reply
