Hello to you and the new puppy and Welcome to Yorkie Talk...

My Baron is a Pure-Bred Yorkie and 1 ear is 1/2 up and the other is 3/4 up. The breeder was more concerned with the smaller Yorkies ears and shaving and taping them than she was the larger pups. Baron was 6 months old when I got him He's now 16 months old and I think his ears are adorable just like his quirky personality!! I love him no matter what he looks like, he's mine!!

Your baby is definitely a yorkie don't worry about his ears my shelby rae's ears don't stand up and she is full yorkie not all of them stand up...besides as long as you love him it doesn't matter if he's a yorkie or not

try shaving his ears they might still come up sometimes heavy hair will keep them pulled down

welcome to YT! I would say you have one beautiful yorkie! You could try shaving his ears and maybe even taping. Either way - he looks completely loveable

He is almost a year old and his ears don't stand up. Everywhere I read it says one of the characteristics of a yorkie are his ears. How can I tell if my baby is real or a fake? Help!

What a handsome guy! My little babies ears do no stand either. I love them floppy! It fits her cuddly personality. I think your baby is a beautiful yorkie!

I could hardly see the picture. You know how german shepherds are supposed to have their ears up? I have one, she has one ear up and one down. I have a yorkie with her ears up, but, then she's 14 or so pounds. I have 2 biewer terriers, the male I think has maltese in him and his ears have always been down, the other one had her ears up until about 2 mos ago, then they for some reason came down, I have a shih tuz with a terrible underbite, a golden retriever(she was sons dog, but he moved out and she stayed), shes going on 4 and has hip dysplasia. Got the picture?? LOL I have 6 dogs and not one perfect one. Hubby says it's me! I am supposed to have a perfect biewer coming, she may be until she gets to this household. The thing is, your baby is adorable ears up or down, who cares, we still love them even if they do have a little fault.

Welcome to Yorkie Talk! He is sure a cutie!

One of Triss' ears never stood up. But I think it gives them personality, and a cute puppy look.
