It does sound like your pup may have a bit of a calcium deficency since his ears seem to go down after he has been up and about during the day. Adding a little cottage cheese or plain yogurt to his food or as a treat daily may help.

If a Yorkie has ancestors with ears that did not stay up he may have inherited the same issue. Helping him along by trimming the ear tips, as stated, may be helpful. I have read about tapping the ears and some people have had success doing that. A lot does depend on genetics though.

Getting your info about Yorkies from successful professional breeders is usually much more helpful than watching animal planet. The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America would be your best source of Yorkie information. Of course the library here on YT is also very informative. YT has some very informed reputable breeders as well.
