| Finally got my Yorkie!!! Hi everyone. After lurking for some time and wanting a Yorkie like "forever" I finally got one yesterday. He is so cute and is almost 12 weeks. He has the babydoll face that I have been looking for too. The only worry I have is that yesterday both his ears were up and today one of them is down. Should I be doing something with it? It will be hard to not let him get his way cause he is so cute! That is also why he is now mine as I caved and bought him even though I was going to wait to do so cause I already have two other dogs. |

| Congrats new momma! As far as the ears go, you can massage, tape, and shave the ears. I'm not sure how far down you trim the hair, as I've never done it before. I'm sure someone else will come along and give you better pointers. I've also heard/read teething can affect the ears. They'll be up one day and then down the next.

| Welcome. Your baby is probably teething, that will make ears temporarily fall. You might want to read the previous posts about ears in our YT library.

| Congrats on your baby!!! the ears will do that sometimes, they will more than likely go back up, I believe teething has something to do with it

| Congratulations on your new family member! Hope you can post some pictures. Stress can sometimes cause the ears to go down. Also as the fur gets thicker on the ears it can put weight on the ears and make it harder for them to stand. I have seen people say that the stress of teething can cause ears to go down. Until the cartilage in the ear matures there is the chance of the ears going down so if your puppy seems to be having issues you might want to consider helping him by having the fur on the ears trimmed. There are a lot of helpful tips on the forum about this subject. |

| Thanks! Thanks everyone. I hope all goes well with him. So far, so good. He's so small and quick, that you really have to watch where he is when you are walking. |

| Hello! Congratulations and welcome! Yes, the small and quick little ones... that's when you start doing the "yorkie shuffle." Shuffle your feet instead of walking normal so you don't step on him! LOL Can't wait to see pictures of your baby.
