They raise a little at the base when she hears something, I heard that is a good sign that they won't be completely floppy. I will try taping a little later if they don't show signs of standing on their own.
As far as weight is concerned, she seems to be just as big as my other yorkies and I feel the most important thing is that she is healthy. I love her the way she is. I will be getting a new vet that knows more about yorkies. I couldn't understand why she would question if she was a purebred just because she weighed more than any yorkie she has seen at this age. This was my clue that she hasn't seen many yorkies.
I still think they will stand. My puppy ears were way more floppy. I thought the same. Give her till four months and if they don't stand, try the taping. But in the mean time, KEEP her ears trimmed.

She was four months here.
