Thank you for being big enough to appologize. That was very nice and needed. The reason we have to clear up things to make sure they are accurate, since people get on here and read these posts they must be correct.
Yes, flooped ears can most certainly be genetic and should not be bred. If one is breeding, one needs to breed correctly. Or we would end up eventually changing our breed again to flopped ears. I love to see the ears up at attention. It shows how alert they are and gives so much expression. This is my opinion. Of course if I was not breeding and had a little love bug yorkie as a pet only with flopped ears - I would love her all the same. But remember - standing correct upright ears is correct. Also you want a small "V" shaped ears. Not bat rounded tipped ears or ears with thick skin leather, large ears.
Ann Seranne book is great and I have had mine since the early 80s. She is you know one of the Mayfair girls. They had some beautiful yorkies! IMO - Excellent structure I may add. The Complete Yorkshire Terrier by Gordon and Bennett is another good book (I used to expalin). They were the Wildweir girls. Almost every yorkie we have here in America goes back to Wildweir.
