My last yorkie had floppy ears. It's very very cute. I would say, other than aesthetics, there is a reason for taping the ears. The floppy ear can be more prone to infection because it's nice and moist, warm and enclosed. I used to check my boy's ears all the time. Lucy's never had an infection and the ears are clean as a whistle! Best wishes, either way, it's easy to maintain as long as you check them regularly. Tracey |
