I'm tired...I always forget some things. I will say I do have one Yorkie that isn't "high quality/well-bred" ( hubby says I'm always criticizing her - so I will add she's the absolutely sweetest little thing, but I got "ripped off" (IMO) regarding her quality, but that's neither here nor there as we love her and she's our sweet little pet/we don't breed her) Anyway, she had one ear that didn't want to stand and I literally taped her one ear off and on for MONTHS (I was determined to make that ear stand) - it finally stood, but I know it wouldn't have without all that extra help, so I do think a "lesser" quality Yorkie probably could have ears that won't stand as the majority of Yorkie's do)
