| Here are my babies - the oldest- Pebbles is 2 yrs old & has long floppy ears - Skittles is the baby at 5 months old now - she looks different now - I keep her ears shaved right now b/c she is teething & keeps reverting to one floppy ear & one that stands up - it's so cute. I try to get a more updated pic loaded soon! Kim |

| Those are adorable pics! Re: how much of the ear to shave I've always read to shave the upper third of both sides of the ears and to be sure to trim the edges and to use masking tape cut into triangles and place that on the inside of the ear to help it stand. Anyone else? Muffin had floppy ears and Kacee has floppy ears. I've never done anything to make them stand. |

| I had to really work to get Leo's ear to stand- Mia's popped up without any problem right after I shaved them. Leo's didn't though, his ears are a little bigger and they are thinner than hers. I tried several different methods, but this website is the one that worked for me... http://members.aol.com/CYorkie/TapingEars.html I ended up having to tape his ears three different times to get them to stay up. Hope this helps! |

| I actually shaved a little more than 1/3 on Skittles (both sides of the ears)- also, I chose not to do the tape thing. I figured if shaving them didn't work then I wouldn't do anything else. My breeder suggested using unflavored gelatin on her ears (which I actually mixed up w/a little water into a really thick paste & then put it on her ears), but then I was having company & I washed it off - I did see Skittles' brother when the breeder put the gelatin on his ears & it worked! His ears stand up perfectly now - however, this method is kinda messy & made his ears look a little crusty for awhile. Quote:
