 ears
What factors do you find contribute to a flop ears? I have seen an infection make one tip over a bit and the owner not keeping the hair clipped when it is a heavy coat, but I have never seen an adult with flop ears due to any other reason..and once the infection or hair is taken care of, the ear pops back up.
Some Yorkies will pull their ears back against the back of the head for lots of stress/excited/pain reasons, the camera is common one..., but the ear is not flopped over.
I think the reason I am so hard on the quality of the ear is because the fault is so serious. I have seen just about every fault you can think of in the ring, but never a flop earred dog..I realize many have no desire to show, but the rules still apply IMO.
I was just reading a post on another forum by a breeder who stated she bred the type of Yorkie she liked, goes by her own standard so to speak..I do not think that is fair to the breed we love..do it right or at least try very hard to do it right or don't do it..why mess it up? |
