when do yorkie's ears go up?

[Elaine Benise]

Lilah's ears were down when I got her. After a few weeks (maybe 12 weeks?), they both stood up on their own. Then they flopped back down. Then the right one stood up. I taped them and they would both stand up for a few days but that left one is lazy. She is eight months and it's still down. I keep meaning to tape it but then I forget. I have a feeling she's going to be a one ear up, one ear down kinda gal.

My Bella's ears at 15 weeks now are both straight up.. i think they more resemble bat wings.. they are HUGE!! hehe. but just a few weeks ago she had one that floped over, i told her she was lazy then the next week that one was up and the other one was flopped.. so i think she just could only hold one up at a time since then she gets a delicious treat of cottage cheese once a day.. (her favorite treat by the way)

I just got my second yorkie . Love this little one to death .. He is 10 weeks now his left ear is standing up , but right one still laying... Should I tape it or just wait ? Thank u

I tried tapping but it never lasted. Then I had them trimmed and in three days they were up

Just got a yorkie puppy at 11.5 wks and they were up by 13 wks. I did trim upper third of outside of ear & it expedited the process. Have been up since!

He's 5 months old.

Pippi's the same. Her ears can be up for ages, then down the rest of the time. Mostly they are down, we are not taping them. She has huge ears, they can be hilarous, she moves them around so much. She has a cotten coat, is bigger than standard and is adorable as she is.

Agnes ears were up by 16 weeks. When she started to teethe... Her ears flopped. Then the left ear came back up and the right ear was at 3/4 mast. I had her spayed at 6 months and they both flopped again! I have always kept the tips of her ears shaved but in the last few weeks have started to shave halfway down her ears. She is a little over 7 months and I wonder if she is still cutting adult teeth. Would this cause her ears to flop? Any advice is greatly appreciated! I would love for both ears to stand but if that doesn't happen I will love her anyway! Thanks again...

Rasta's ears have been up since I saw him at around 8 weeks. They've never gone down. My breeder has told me that teething can make ears flop though

Bob has one ear up and one ear down
