Go to Monolo'smom thread; I think it says Someone Got A Hair Cut.....She took the pic the day I groomed Monolo.

Hiya would you mind having a look at Milly and telling me if her ears are done right? It's great to have other input!

The hair should only be trimmed on the top 3rd of the ear. Her ears on the bottom part are cut just a bit shorter than I would do.

Thanks I'll mention it to them next time and see how that turns out.

Go here....Cookie explains it very well. Or you can check out the thread started on Monolo, the day I groomed him, she posted pics.

Dudley's little ears lay down too. Whats funny though, is when he is asleep they stand right up. I think they look cute either way. Kayla's ears have always stood up. I have let the hair grow longer over her ears and she looks like she has two long pony tails. lol!!!!

I used to try that method, never really worked on Bug, her ears flopped no matter what was done. Baby's ears stood no matter what. After months of trying to shave, tape etc... I just let Bug's ears do what they wanted and that is flop naturally. She looks naturally adorable. Same as Baby, no matter how much hair is left on, they stand. Baxter the Malti-poo can grow all kinds of hair on his ears and they stand. As you can see in the pic of Bear and Baxter, Bear has one ear up, one ear down. We are an integrated family.

My Toffee's ears never went up - I didn't try either....I think she looked adorable just the way she was....I still love and miss her....
