how do yorkie ears stand up?

[mckinser]

Layla ears popped up around 3 weeks, so did Bella's. Chase on the other hand his didn't pop-up and stay until he was 8 months old. It just depends on the dog.

My previous yorkie's ears went up on his own.
However, my new baby has ears that lay down and I prefer this look better.

Each individual dog is different.

All 3 of my Yorkies have Ears that stand straight-up and once they were "Up" they stayed up w/o having to "Tape" them, but I do keep them shaved/tipped
and trimmed close so they don't have the weight of the Hair, weighing it down. I also fed each one of them extra "Calcium", through "Dairy" products like Cottage Cheese, when they were Puppies b/c from what I heard.....when they are that young they are growing and their bones,skin and hair are developing. Floppy Ears usually are caused by "Breeding" it's a genetic trait?
The cartilage in their Ears are soft and w/age Harden and make the Ear stand-up. Massaging helps alot too, b/c it makes them conscious about holding their Ears up by stimulating the Nerve endings.

Suzi's ears did not stand up until I took her to the groomers for the very first time! They were just too heavy. Every since then they have been up all the time! Suzi was much older then 7weeks too.
Shave them first.. That ought to dothe trick!
