Just wanted to add another thing. Though its easier to get ears to stand while the pup is young you can work with them for a long time after that. I foster rescue dogs on occasion. Got a yorkie mix about 1 yr old. Both ears were 1/2 up and Vet said that after 6 months they prob. would not stand. Figured why not try! I cleaned, then shaved, then taped her ears and left them for a week. Both ears stood. I had to tape them a few more times but only the one that fell and only for a few days. Both finally stood and she went to her new family with both ears up. If the ears are not too thick and you are persistant you can get them up. 10 wks is NOT too late at all to start. Good luck (but I agree the floppy ears are so cute). I decided with my own yorkies I wanted them to stand and taped the ones who needed it but it was a personal decision on my part..course I would have loved them either way..cause they are my babies!
