Attention Yt,please Read 3 Attachment(s) Over the past few weeks i have seen a lot of comments about ''floppy eared'' yorkies, and it is starting to annoy me! :mad: Just because we have babies with floppy ears, does not mean your yorkies with errect ears are better than ours! :thumbdown I have 2 girls with floppy ears and they are gorgeous and DO LOOK like yorkies. :p So you have ''breed standard'' yorkies, do they have the perfect topline, coat texture and colour, size? no they probably dont fit the entire breed standard! :rolleyes: So lay off floppy eared yorkies with full tails, they are cute! :D and just as pretty as one with errect ears, in some cases prettier :p (P.S) I DO NOT WANT THIS TO TURN INTO A DEBATE, JUST WANTED TO STATE MY ANNOYANCE. |
I think your pups are adorable! I like all yorkies. Erect ears or floppy ears full tail or docked tail. |

If she has a full tail I would LOVE to see it. I have always wondered what they would like with long tails. Diesel's isn't as short as most would think it should be. I still love his tail being a little longer. I can only imagine how cute they would be with long tails! Michelle |
Sure, give me 5 mins and i will take some pics of their tails and post! :) |
I have one that the ears did not stand. Actually you never notice it. no one has ever looked at my 4 and made a comment about the Ahia's non-erect ears. it wouldn't bother me if they did any way. I would defend her all the way. |
I completely understand you....My girl has floppy ears and I absolutely LOVE it. I did shave her ears to see if they would stand but thats as far as I am going. If she wants to bring them up she'll do it on her own...just my opinion. People have told me (not on here) that if her ears don't stand than she is not purebred. I do tell them that not all Yorkie's ears stand and they look at me with a freakin dumb face. By the way...your girls are adorable!!!! |
i love floppy ears! |
Both of Bo's ears are erect. Duncan has one floppy ear and I would not have it any other way. |
My Lucy's ears stand up. But my mom has a yorkie"rocky" and his ears flop. I actually think it's cutier when the ears flop. The vet said Rocky just has lazy ears b/c he can stand them up if he wants too. If you ask him if he wants a treat or to go on a ride he perks his ears up. He always does it if he's excited.

There is NOTHING wrong with the floppies...they're adorable ! ....if the post I'm thinking about.... is the one you're upset about - the only dig was towards a woman bragging that her breeder intentionally went for that look when breeding ...... But don't let comments like that get to you - it's NO different than people getting pissed cause their yorkie grew too big :eek: :eek: how do you think the people with bigger yorkies feel reading that ? and your yorkies are just GORGEOUS ! Ears up or down - a yorkie is a Yorkie |
3 Attachment(s) Ok here are a few pics of my babies full tails, they aren't very good shots but you can see them. I let the hair on the tails grow really long and then it makes a beautiful fountain! Duke has erect ears, he is gorgeous too, but i do LOVE LOVE LOVE floppy ears and am fed up with critisism :) |

i'm actually glad that my little guy's ears did not stand up....i kind of think he's cuter this way :) |
I would love to see the tails too and your dogs are cute |
Oh my! LOL how cute! It doesn't look like the tails grow very long. I mean the bone part not the hair. If thats the case then Diesel's tail isn't far from being full! His tail is a good 2 or 2.5 inches long. I think you babies are jsut adorable!! Michelle |
when snickers ears wouldnt go up i was all worried about it and when they did i thought hmmm why did that matter so much to me? i'm not breeding her... i think sometimes we put misplaced value on it (myself included) until you stop and really think about it... unless you are breeding it shouldnt be a big thing... your furkid is your furkid... if my skinkid had huge ears or anything else i woudl still love him the same?? and karma (one of our new additions) has floppy ears and they are hairy and i think its downright adorable... kinda softens her up a bit and boomer has very erect ears that are hairy and i think it makes him look inquisitive and thats adorable too snickers are up i remember being so happy when they DID go up but now that that *drama* is over i dont know what i placed such a high value on it? i would luv her the same way either way and yours are adorable!!!!! :animal-pa |
Our little guy just turned 12 weeks old and both his ears are down. They do stand up when he gets excited. It doesn't matter to us. We like him either way. |

Sending smoochies to all those little floppy ears out there :luvu: :luvu: lol - Shoot... when Cheri was a baby I thought I was raising a Bunny Wabbit :) and finally one day her head grew into her ears ... Seriously - don't take it personally - we have some gorgeous BIG ...SMALL ...Floppy Eared......BIG Eared ....spoiled rotten yorkies - I'd take personality over looks anytime.... and Chanel needs to start her own JAIL Rap if she doesn't settle down - she just went nuts on the Meter man today..lucky the slider door was shut :D :D She thinks she's a rottie when it comes to her spyin turf |
I think the floppy ears are adorable and wanted jewel"s ears to stay down but they went up |
I agree!! Mason ears stand up but Mias dont yet..Is Mason any beeter. Heck NO!! There both still adorable! :D :D |
I LOVE floppies and think they are adorable. As far as a full tail goes, i hadn't actually seen one till pictures on this thread. I love it! haha. when Maggie needs groomed the hair on her little nub (i wasn't given the choice..) gets ridiculously long. I think it's really cute till you go to touch it and it's just long scraggly hair! We call it her chicken tail haha. I wish there was actually tail in there because I bet it would be sooo cute. |
Did you see the thread on Carmen Electras yorkie? It has floppy ears and you know she paid a bundle for it. It's really adorable. |

I think your babies are gorgeous. They remind me of Sophie when she was younger. She also has floppy ears. I think they look cute either way. |

I think Yorkies are cute with floppy ears as well. Of course, everyone has their preference as to which they like best, just as they do with tails. I do however think that many times breeders will get a bad rap as being snobby if they make a comment that non-erect ears shouldn't be bred. Well, erect ears aren't part of the standard, so all they are saying is that they are trying to stick to that, not that the ears make the dog better or worse. One of the pups from Trixie's litters has ears that flop. They were standing when the pup left our home, but the owner wanted them to flop she preferred it, so she never had the ears trimmed or try to make them stand. Just what she wanted. Still an adorable dog...of course, I am a bit biased too. |
Actually - I think that can just happen because the cartlidge may be weak - but don't quote me on this :p :p and I bet even some of the best breeders may have had a puppy or two with ears that flopped & no - the Ring would never accept a yorkie with floppy ears - but then again - most all of us do NOT have showdogs - but we have LOVED dogs... and that's just as important if not more. |
Your babies are adorable. Whether their ears are up or down, or their tails are short or long, or any other differences they may have, ALL yorkies are just too dang lovable and irresistable. Until I saw Roxy, I had no interest in a small, yappy lap dog. I loved big, furry, wrestle-with dogs. What was I thinking? :rolleyes: I have yet to see a picture of a yorkie on here that I didn't wish I had for my own. Each one has it's own facial expression and personality. Roxy's ears are constantly going up and down, so I really don't know whether she's erect earred or floppy. Today, she has one up and one down. I don't want to cut the hair on them because they look like angel wings when they are up so maybe it's the weight of the hair. And a long tail makes it easier to catch than when they chase a little stub. :D So, unless you are showing or breeding, then who cares? They are our babies, and we love them. (Some of the pics I've seen, are, IMO prettier than the show dogs, and that's the truth!) |
She is adorable! Floppy ears or not! |

Yorkies Yorkies... Don't they come in a variety of sizes? 3,5,9,or 15 pounds, it's still a Yorkie. Long legs, short legs, docked tails, long tails... Floppy ears, erect ears or half way up. Black, silver, golden, reddish... But it's still a Yorkie... Short hair or long hair, it doesn't matter. Pepper's ears used to be up at about 11 weeks, then went down and even though I gave them a 'buzz cut' they are floppy. They might stay that way (at least I got pictures :D ). I saw cutie pie Yorkies with floppy ears, there's something cuddly about those faces, esp if the hair on the ear is long. My mom's Yorkie has perfectly standing ears but his tail never got docked. And he's just as precious :) |
