Proper structure is essential for a yorkie to have a proper show stance, in regards to conformation showing. If a yorkie has a low tail set or rounded croup or a bad rear then they might not be able hold their tail at the proper level.
Some yorkies are just prone to having floppy ears or airplane ears and sometimes it is just not possible to make them come up. When yorkie puppies teeth the ears will go up and down and usually by 6 months old the ears should be standing. Many people will tape the ears when the pups are young and that sometimes that will really help. Also keeping the ears shaved while the pups are young will help the ears to come up.
