Teapot Ears

[Woogie Man]

Archie's ears aren't large but are thicker than usual. I've seen flop ears on a Yorkie where the ears were large (wider than usual) but were thin.

My princess has a little junk in her trunk like her Mommy...she's around 10 pounds. I love her to pieces. She is such a sweet heart, such a motherly creature. She looks out for the two little ones and follows me around like a shadow!

This is the most wonderful thread. I love all your "teapots." Through YT I've learned to not be upset if I would happen to get a Yorkie that grows into a "teapot." They are just darling. So beautiful. Oh, hugs to all your "teapots." Thanks for the smile I now have on my face.

Franklins 10.4 lbs and Maggie is 11.2lbs.

1. The first picture is of Franklin, he has erect ears!
2. JUSTKIDDING! He was laying down. Here he is after his haircut last week.
3. Maggie has one ear up, one ear down. She had both up at some point in her life.. I'm not sure what happened..

This is such a nice message.
I was in the beginning a little upset, cause he kept on growing and i think he still does.. bu it was only coz i already have 2 dogs and take them when im travelling for work. So i wated a yorkie i can take along to my work in the trains and planes.. but he is so much bigger then the breeder told me he would be. So when i travel now I leave him with my hubby and my other 2 dogs.. and he s loving it.. I do take him sometimes when its not that far. but he is pretty heavy now He is sooooo sweet and when im in business meeting, he just lay down and sleeps.. he wont do anything.. Only when we get hom ehe is a little monster again hahahhahah
You made my day too !

This is the same reason I too was looking for a smaller Yorkie..for traveling. I had a 30lb pug for 14 yrs who kept us homebound..cause I could not bare to leave him. He was so attached to us. The breeder said he would be 12lbs max...Anyway All your yorkies are gorgeous..such expressive faces..

Call has floppy ears and I love it! She weighed in at 13 pounds at the vet but lost a little weight on our trip so shes probably around 12 pounds now.

Are the floppy ears heavier or thicker at the tips too.? is this the reason they tend to flop? heaviness?

Nope, large floppy ears don't always fortell future size. Madeleine's ears never stood up and she is 5 1/2 pounds. Of course I didn't try to shave or tape them either, which can help make them stand. Sometimes they stay floppy because of the heavy hair and I think sometimes they were just meant to be floppy!!

Here's my Maddie with floppy ears. Teapot or not, floppy or not...they're all precious!

Madeline is so pretty...I love her eyes..soulful. I like her ears down actually, It looks as though she is sporting a nice hairdo..it all flows so nicely.

Our 15lb Chunk has floppy ears but sometimes one will stand. I think if I would have taped them or always kept his ears shaved they would have stood up. My kids wouldn't let me do it. They said if God intended for his ears to stand they would have stood by themselves. He was a little one at eight weeks old and I think he just grew into his name. Chunk, (the chubby kid from Goonies). Chunk is not fat. He's really a solid little, (or big), one.

Hi,
Just saw this thread and was wondering, what is a teapot? :-) Shellie

Does teapot mean bigger, or are there other characteristics besides floppy ears. Roxie's ears flop, but she only weighs 4.5 lbs. She looks like a little bunny!(see avatar)

Thanks to everyone on YT for being so great!

A teapot is any yorkie larger that the standard 7lbs. Just more to love, hug and smother with kisses.
