| Ears I am by no means an expert, as Moe is my first Yorkie to raise, though I have been around many Yorkies through my life....so all I can say is...Moe had ears that did as they wanted for a while, when he got to about 6 or 7 months they became up , instead of flopping down at times..... they just did it on thier own , after he was older you know and the muscles were fully strong....cant say much else cause I am not a Yorkie expert. LOL hence why I am here too.Good Luck Love and Light. BLU and MOE |

| The ear will probably go up on its own. You could shave and tape the ear. Ears go down when they are teething.

| Have the ears always been down or have they gone up and back down?? Sometimes the ears will flop down during teething. This might be the case or maybe there is too much weight on the ears. You can try shaving the back side to relieve some of the weight. That was usually help out. Keep them shaved until they are good and up. |

Her one ear was up about 2 months. She is 5 months and has lost about 7 baby teeth. Her other ear will go up every now and then - but won't stay up very long. Do you know how to tape them up? What kind of tape and exactly how do you do it?

| BoBo's ears was standing for awhile and now they go up and down all the time...i think they will stand on thier own so i didnt bother to tape them...i did shave the back of them and cut around the edges of them also and that seems to help....good luck |

| Big ears too!! My Sebastian has huge ears!! I just got him groomed for the first time and by the time I got him home his ears were standing straight up.I literally thought he would fly away!! They were trying to stand up before I got him groomed but I guess it was all the weight off his ears that made them stand up like that (unless he knew he was cute!). They are starting to drop a little now. He is four months and weighs about 3.5 lbs. I think his big ears are cute. If he never grows into them, it won't bother me. I will post a picture very soon of my Seb.

| Sami has really thick leather and his ears will not stand, I had shaved, taped and done just about what everyone had suggested to no avail So I gave up trying! but maybe when he's older hes now 15 months old and no difference? they looked cute when they were taped up! I had them taped for 4 days and as soon as I took of the tape they flopped again, so what's a person to do with a floppy ear yorkie.. LOVE him just the way he is.. here is pic's before and after |
