Thanks.

He probably was nutritionally challenged since he was fed Purina Puppy Chow, and he's definitely still teething. I know that Rusty's (who was a Yorkie/Maltese) ears went up and down until about 8-9 months, and then stayed up after that with long hair and nothing done to them. Ziggy still has one floppy ear, and he's three!

I just wasn't sure if it was any different for a purebred Yorkie.
