Who loves their Yorkie's floppy ears? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Poor Sophie Kate she ears are up most the way but the tips flop over. I love her just the way she is and would not want it any other way.

I think my Avatar picture shows her "confused" ears.

charlie has always had floppy ears. He has large ears so I don't think they will look good up. I love his big floppy ears.

I think some pups looks just ADORABLE with floppy ears. Everyone always tells me Maddy has "a sweet face" and I think its because of those floppy ears! I love them both ways!

Here is Maddy with her flops!

Mokey is almost 5 months and her ears are half up and tipped over. I am hoping they stay that way. Her mom is a floppy eared Yorkie and I would not have her any other way. ( Well of course I would. )

I love when he does his little happy walk where he kinda bounces and his little ears flop up and down as he goes. hehe. I think maybe its just grown to be part of his personality. Is anybody else with me on this?

I'm there with you all the way!!!! my marco is 2 and has big floppy ears...it still gives him the puppy face appearance...at first when he was a puppy only one side of his ears stood up...the breeders told us to tape his ears up...But we decided to just let it be....And I'm glad boths ears flopped down instead...it does give them their little personally!!!! Tobie is super CUTE!!! and he's always going to look like a puppy forever with those floppy ears.

Wow everytime I have a worry or concern I can come in here and find the topic I was looking for.
I just got a new baby girl. We have named her Abigail (Abby) She is the sweetest little thing but her ears are not standing up. She is 4 months old. I was disappointed, but then came in here and see that this is common and it will be "alright" if they don't stand up. (Thought I had an odd ball) LOL
Will be posting new pics of our new little cuttie.

Welcome to YT!

She'll be precious either way, but it's too soon to know if they will stand up or not. you never know.

I have two floppy eared yorkies-Bella and Sami. At first I was upset that their ears were not standing up. But hey are 7 1/2 months and I don't care-they are adorable!!!

Ramseymom · 06-27-2009, 10:15 AM

Ramsey's haven't stood up yet, either. He's almost 6 months old now so I don't know if they will go up or not. We think it's adorable when he runs and his ears are flying all over.

My 9 month old yorkie, Dexter, had great ears that stood as they were supposed to. They have always seemed large to me, but yorkies do tend to have large ears some times. About 2 weeks ago, his ears flopped, changing his looks completely. He was still as cute as ever, but I was puzzled. I did a google search on this topic and read about calcium, hair, etc. One of the suggestions as to trim their ears by shaving the sides and upper 1/3. I was skeptical, as his hair didn't appear to be too long. Well, I did get a hold of them and the hair was at least 1 inch past his ears with past trimming. I shaved them up and cut the backs closely. Immediately they stood right back up. I was amazed and delighted!

Taylorfamof4 · 09-05-2009, 07:46 AM

My yorkies ears looks identical to yours until I trimmed them really closely. I couldn't believe how little hair caused them to flop. It was amazing.

I'm a stickler on breeding to standard, but I have to admit, I love the floppy eared look, I know a lot of people do all sorts of things to get the ears to stand, but the floppy ears can be so adorable. Thanks everyone for sharing your pictures!
