| Do your yorkies ears do this???? Ok I know when dogs play their ears will flip backwards...BUT Reece's ears always flip backwards and stay backwards for hours or until I flip them back. Most dogs would be bothered by it and shake them back into place..he looks so silly when hes like this but it doesnt bother him a bit!! Does anyone elses yorkies ever do this?? He is only 9 weeks and still a pup and probably doesnt realize it is supposed to bother him hehe..I attaced a couple pics I just snapped..sorry the quality isnt too good but you can get an idea what I mean. |

| Scampers ears do that every once in awhile. He does not even seem to notice but it really bugs me so I have to flip them back into place.

| I know my breeder made sure I knew how to keep ears trimmed so maybe they just need that and they might do better.

| Gracie's ears do this all the time. She is now 3 months old and just started realizing that this bothers her, so she shakes her head until they flop back. Before her 3 month B-day, she really didn't care and I was constantly flipping them back for her.

| My Otis's ears do that all the time. My neighbor calls it "broken ear" and tells me to flip it back over. It doesn't seem to bother him. sometimes it goes back on its own and sometimes I have to flip it.

| Oh, I doubt they'll always do that. "Broken ear" is certainly not a technical term. Its just what my neighbors think it looks like, so they tell him his little ear looks broken. It usually only happens when he's outside running. Ears are a mystery to me!!!! But I love my Otis's down ears.
