I Was Told Not To Buy My Yorkie - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am pretty sure floppy ear or not has nothing to do with the fact of being purebred

LuvMyDivaGirls · 11-15-2005, 01:09 PM

I've never heard of that being a factor on whether or not its purebred or not.. like the others say,, ignore her! If you are in love already, thats what matters!

Tay is just over 13 weeks and her ears are now standing up (both actually started today-one has been up about a week or so ?). But we would love the little terror either way, or if she had 1 ear

Oh my gosh, Floppy easrs don't mean a mutt!! Some ears are too heavy, too long.. Some will never stand, some just need help. Did you shave your dogs ears and tape them for 4 days at a time??
My dog Lilly is a prue breed. I own her mother and a friend of mine owns the father, both parents ears are erect. Lilly is almost 6 months old and her ears are still floppy!! Every once in a while they stand on their own but most times they are down. I have shaved them and taped them, but she is major teething right now so I'm not going to worry about it.. But I know she is a prue breed!!

Teddy is Yorkie through and through and if I cared enough to
I could pick him apart where faults are concerned, but I don't
he is my companion and once I invested my love in him that
was it. I don't care when someone says he's big because I
know he is big and I don't care if he has a little thing going
on with his ears that somedays makes me think he is relatives
with the flying nun he is and always will be the love of my life.

Abbie is purebread and her ears don't stand up . Her dad's don't but her moms did. I know she is just as special to me as she would be with ears that stood up. Don't worry about it. Yours will probably be much smarter and cuter anyway. And you will love him the same. you wait and see.

i_love_my_yorki · 11-15-2005, 01:29 PM

Yours will be beautiful too.....their ears will eventually go up

But whats that got to do with how you love the little guy

wheather its a Mutt or not they still need loving..big small in between sizes
Who the heck cares...i for 1 do not...papers no papers..who cares your not going to fall in love with papers...your going to fall in love with that little heart

megan_kat22 · 11-15-2005, 01:46 PM

i love floppy eared babies!!! tucker AND tripp are floppy eared, and tucker is completely full bred yorkie. so, it really makes no difference if they're purebred or not. enjoy your baby, and don't worry about the ears, they are just ears after all, your baby will always be your baby. good luck with ur new puppy!!!!!!

heres a pic of tucker and his floppy ear-ness

I think your aunt needs to visit this website....Zoe is a purebred and her ears are floppy! She is so cute with them floppy.... now...One of her puppies will have erect ears but I think the other two are going to be floppy.

Passionfruition · 11-15-2005, 01:58 PM

My Sully is a year old and has floppy ears, most of the time.....and he's healthy as ever and looks exactly like a yorkie should! So don't stress.

And congrats on your new puppy! Who cares what your aunt thinks! Your yorkie is your biggest fan.

Gingersmom · 11-15-2005, 02:31 PM

Ginger has 1 floppy ear & she is pure bred!

christelnpeawee · 11-15-2005, 02:38 PM

Don't worry about what your aunt says. I know you care about her feelings but in the end its about you and your new furbabies happiness. There are many floppied eared dogs that are pure bred. Just do what makes you happy and don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

who cares what your aunt thinks. My whole family looks at me like I am nuts just for treating my yorkies like they are part of the family or better. I tell them I don't care what they think. I think they still love me. and Ahia's ears never did stand up either. probably would have if i had worked harder to make them. standing ears or not they are still yorkie and need love just the same as standing eared ones. don't turn him down for that reason alone.

I had to laugh at the reference to your brother,sure am glad you kept him!!!
I was worried about Satch's ears ,he is only 3 1/2 months old but they are standing.If they hadn't I sure wouldn't give him away,I am like you ,Satch is more person to me than some people I know and I love him with all my heart.These little bits of love can be one of the loving part of your life,enjoy them!!!

Usually the larger males have floppy ears. Don't know why. Maybe it's God's way to make them adorable.

EARS!!!!
Who cares about Ears!
I only care about thier big loving hearts!!!!
Besides, the baby is 16 weeks, the ears still might go up.
If you love the pup, go get it!
