I don't think pet owners should be overly concerned with standard, it's really meant as a breeding guide to breeders. I believe in supporting breeders who breed to standard, because this will insure that the Yorkshire Terrier breed survives into the future and looks like a Yorkie as we know it, but as pet owners we should love them "as is." I love floppy ears as well, and since your dog is part Shih Tzu, I don't think you'll have a problem with them staying floppy. Do what makes you happy! |
