Bailey being our first Yorkie, I had no idea when to expect her ears to perk up, so I was concerned when they hadn't come up at all at 9 weeks. I started rubbing her ears much of the time that she was in my lap - which was a LOT of time. At 10 weeks we had the hair on her ears trimmed by the groomer (who has five Yorkies of her own and told us not to worry about those ears - she said they'd be up when it was time for them to be up). At 11 weeks and 1 day her ears were up as perfectly as we could possibly hope for.
Maybe all the attention to rubbing her ears and trimming the hair on them didn't contribute - maybe it was just a coincidence that they came up so soon. But based on our experience, I'll sure do the same thing with our next Yorkie pup. |
