Mom's ears stand up, but dad's do not. I asked the vet about it and she said some yorkie's ears stand up and some don't ever stand up. She also said that if they are going to stand up they would do it on their own they wouldn't need taped, but who knows."
I don't really want floppy ears but my husband is excited, he doesn't like pointy ears. Will taping make any ear stand up, or just some???

P.S. In the picture she just rolled in the dirt, that's why she looks like that
Adorable! As a home breeder, I can tell you that taping the ears with other yorkies around is just about impossible. They think it's a new toy and try their best to get the tape. By the looks of your little girl, she has lots of hair on her ears and it does tend to hold them down. If you trim the ears, they should pop up in no time.
