He may be too old to get ears up, I don't know if there is an age after which they are "trained" down.
You said you tired to trim his ears so they'd stand. Did you have a groomer do it? My yorkiepoo has always had floppy ears, I like it. One time the groomer did her ears like a yorkie and they take the tips VERY short, almost shaved sort of. After that grooming one of her ears stood up..not straight straight, but clearly up. The other stayed drooped. As her hair grew the straight ear gradually drooped again. If you want to try straight again I'd suggest a groomer trim the ears (unless that was what you did already!) There is a pic in my album with one ear up, and I think that was after a couple of weeks from the grooming. Maggie is very good at moving her ears around and sometimes really perks them up.
I think my baby looks more like a yorkie than some yorkies I've seen, and she is a yorkipoo, so there is no telling what your guy is. He could very well be all yorkie. I'd do the DNA test if you can afford it, heard they are not that much. It would just be nice to have that doubt out of your head, and then you would know what he is, or isn't. |
