In the yorkie breed, or dogs in general?

Yorkies don't get their ears cut, they get their tails docked, because that is the breed standard. Many people are rebelling against this practice and leaving dogs that are normally docked/cropped, natural. If you're buying a dog for a pet, I don't see the need, other than personal preference... In the show ring, your dog must be breed standard, otherwise you just won't win...
