| I think part of it is genetics. Missy was born with hers standing straight up and so far they haven't changed. Many people have been successful at training their Yorkie's ears to stand up by shaving the top 1/3 or even 1/2 of the ears. I do this anyways just because it looks nice and neat. You can also tape them. If you do a search on the site you will find instructions on how to do this.

| Sometimes you have to shave and tape them to get them to stand. Both of mine's went up on their own

| tape works awesome if they dont stand up ... use the blue paper ductape brand and you dont have to shave them .. it is also non-toxic. |

| Get a small mustache and sideburn elec. razor, You can shave the tip and the sides like a little triangle. This should help. How old is she. None of our pups ears stood up until they where about 10 weeks. Some around 15 weeks. Is she teething. |
