When I got my Gracie she was about 12 weeks old. The breeder had rolled masking tape into a cylinder about an inch or less long and the tape roll is about the size of a match stick. The sticky side out and put it in her ears, going up and down, to help them stand up. The breeders told me one of her ears was falling down and to keep it in there until she was older and the cartilage in her ears had hardened.
I don't know how old Stitch is, but I don't think it helps once they get older. I also am not sure if anyone would consider it cruel, but it didn't seem to bother her. That is how it was when I got her.
BTW All the floppy eared Yorkies are darn cute!
