I was aware that ear taping is less successful, if at all, after Yorkies are a year old. Both Brody's and Mia's ears stood up higher after their ears were properly shaved and cut, though, and if I thought it would be worth putting them through it, even at this stage of their lives, I might do it, especially if I had 'local help' with experience taping ears. I have heard that their is a potential for harm if not done correctly...and I really do not want them harmed.
However, ears prick or somewhat floppy...they are precious babies, Brody and Mia, and I have no complaints! ;-)
Bless you for going through taping, though...and good luck with the teething. ;-)
