| Yes, taping works. There are breeders out there with 35 years of experience that are doing it all the time.....

| Lucy's ears flopped until she was about 7-8 mths. I didn't know about taping them - it's good to know. Her ears would take turns - one would flop the other would stand and vice versa - it was very cute!!!

| Hi Mardelin, I'm new at all this. Can you explain a little more on how you trim ears. I'm going to let them grow out and then do it the way you explained. I don't understand when you say v in the backs all the way to the base And let sides grow out right? thanks so much

| It sounds like your puppy's ears are going to stay up. Harley's went through different phases when he was a puppy. His ears now fold but we prefer to keep his like this...we are used to it and think it fits his face and not only this, but his ears are HUGE when they are up. Tammy |

| Hannah's birthday is December 11 / 06. I took the tape off tonight. After 2 days, and so far her ears are standing upright. I'll keep and eye on them.. she looks so cute.. I wouldn't care if they stayed down.. but I prefer them up. Jen |

| Great news.....Just wanted to know I have 2 boys here that were born on the 30th of November....so, they're just a few weeks apart...I've had to tape their ears up a couple of times....right now they're standing...they never went completely down, just a lil loose.

| no, the taping works. my vet tried to talk me out of it too, said that only nature will determine if the ears stay up. maggies did flop a bit with teething but they are up. i don't think it is a myth...i have seen it work on many yorkies!

| Yes, it is. When I was learning how to do show ears...people would just tell me how to do it....I just couldn't get it. So, instead of worrying about it so bad. I just took by trimmers to the show site and had the experts show me. The Whal Peanut is really the best tool to get those sharp edges and manuver. Mary

| Vets go to school to make dogs well, they do not know the lil nuances of each breed. Although, very good vets usually have a breed specific breeders on their contact lists, that they confer with.
