| puppy ears standing When do yorkies ears stand? My daughter has a puppy that is 8 weeks old and her ears are not standing. Is this unusual? She is concerned. She was told to massage them. Does anyone else have suggestions? One parent the ears were standing the other parent was down. Is this hereditary? The pup's ears are not real big. The puppy weights about 1 1/2 lbs. if this matters Thanks for the help: |

| Well... he's only 8 wks, so I'd give it more time... However, many members have wrote about having to tape their pups ears to make them stand and it seems to work.

| I got mine at 6 weeks(the first one) and hers were up..sometimes I think it is heriditary..My german shepherds mom had one lazy ear, and my shepherd has the same ear down..you may want to shave the hair off of them..they may still come up..I would give it a couple more weeks, she may surprise you one morning and have them up.. |

| Thanks, this YT is so informative. If we do tape them, what type of tape? How long should we leave them that way? |
