But the truth is I love her ears down, because they are on her, and I love her just the way she is. So I don't care what anyone else thinks about her ears or size, or what someone will say about her. We all need to feel that way about our yorkies sizes also. As long as we love them just the way they are, who cares?

would we defend our children if they were shorter or taller? If their eyes, ears, nose, or mouth were too big? Too small? We do not get to pick our biological kids ... and we do not ridicule other people's children ...

I love the floppy ear look ... I did not realize it was not standard ... maybe I would not have let Monday's ears get so heavy with hair, but I think it looks so cute! I do not even think of having them trimmed .... when we got Monday the breeder told us -- and I quote, "That one won't go over 5 lbs." ...
Since I had been a Siberian Husky owner-lover before, I did not know why he said that! Now Monday is short of 5 lbs. and we did have trouble with her digestive system but thatz cleared up ... she is just adorable to me as is .... I wouldn't change a thing.
Why some breeders breed to be small, is a good question, but as long as there is demand there will be supply. So who is really to blame????
