The first Yorkie I ever had "Moppett" had floppy ears. I tried taping and supporting them, but nothing worked. I then had to accept that she would forever have floppy ears.

It made no difference, she was cuddly, loveable, adorable and all the other positive traits that Yorkies have. I knew she was destined for petdom - not showdom - but that was fine with me.

Buffalo is 5 months old and his ears are semi-floppy i would say, one stands up more than the other. Check for yourself. This was something i was wondering about too, im glad you posted this question!

It is techinically Buffalos second hair cut... but the first one was so bad and they hardly trimmed anything. This groomer that did his last cut is amazing!

Buff loves you too

My first yorkie, Duke, had floppy ears until he was 9 months old. Then I was showed how to trim them. They POPPED right up.
But I wasn't sure I liked them standing up.
Now I find if I don't trim my yorkies ears they will lay down. So you can decide how you like them.
Mostly I keep mine trimmed since it's standard.

A standing joke here is that if i would cut the hairoff of teddys ears they would probably stand up....the hair is so long...lol

COUNT ME IN!

My little Gracie Girl is a floppy ear girl. I am out-voted at home as my DH and my son LOVE her floppy ears. I have taped them couple of times but then keep going back floppy. The good Lord made her unique and I love her so much!

Honestly, the floppy ears add to her personality.

LOL....When Teddy runs his ears slick back against his head....I call him a donkey when he runs....because a donkey will do that...I think we need to have a floppy ear club..lol

I have three and two of them have floppy ears, with Chewy, my first, I did'nt know much of anything and left them how they were, with my second one Choupette, I had learned little more but it was too late for her, she was ten months, so floppy ears as well but when I got Tucson, I had learned how to tape them and his ears are up, but my other two are just as sweet looking and I find it adds character to them. So I feel I have the best of both.
