| Trimming yorkie's ears My yorkie; Winston, is 6 months old and his ears have never stood up. I think I may have waited too ling to trim the hair. His ears are tiny and his hair is thick and cottony. I tried clipping the top third but they're still hairy. I read somewhere about trimming the whole ear. Any suggestions? If they won't stand that's ok cause he's so cute but I thought I'd give it a try. |

| You can get a small Peanut clipper at Sally's use these and shave inside and out the top 3rd of the ear. then clip the long hair around the edges. be careful not to cut the ear leather.

| I ended up shaving down most of Blazer's ear hair- inside and out- to finally get them to "mostly" stand erect. I waited until he was 5 months to start doing it, though (I like the floppy ears so I wasn't going to push them to stand.) The hair on his ears is just SO heavy when it is long so, erect or floppy, he just looks nicer with his ears shaved shorter. I use DH's beard trimmer (shh, don't tell him!)

| AngelFae. Thanks. I think that's going to be my Winston. He just has so much hair. His sister naturally has no hair on her ears, they're a little bigger, and they stand straight up. |
