| Ears.. Hi.. well we decided to tape Hannah's ears on Saturday night just to see what would happen.. she is 15 weeks.. first I let her go to sleep on my lap while we watch TV.. and while she is sleeping I trim the hair on her ears right down to nothing , on both the inside and outside.. have been doing this since she was 10 weeks.. Her ears were almost up .. just the top bit was still flopped over.. I took the tape off Sunday morning because I was going to bath her.. and I couldn't believe my eyes... they were up... after just one night taped. So just to make sure they stay up .. I taped them again lastnight.. and will leave them taped for a couple of days.. she isn't minding it at all. She is such a great little girl.. we just love her to death.. My saying to everyone that see's her is that " Everyone should have a yorkie " ! Love this site... so helpful. Jen |

But keep in mind not to overstress yourself, ears can go floppy on these lil ones until their permanent teeth come in....a few up until the age of 6 months....they are growing and using every bit of calcium in their lil bodies.

| Well we will love Hannah with her ears up or with them down. I will keep taping if they keep flopping.. but I think they are going to stay up . |

I really don't like to let them go until they're up.....but, there are occassion where after they go home they're a little loose, and new families are stressing...so, we tape and retape. I even got a lil year old female in for grooming, ears were flopped over, and they had got her that way.....but, her ears had never been shaved/trimmed....did the regular yorkie trim with backs in a V all the way to the base, letting the ear fringes on the outer edges longer....ears came up immediately

The ears will be fine and most likely stay up. By the way what's her Birthdate

| Pip's ears were down when I got her at 7 weeks, they came up at about 5 months only to go down after a bad case of enteritus. They came back up at 7 months and they've stayed up ever since, no taping or trimming. Just be patient.... |

| I only do the complete shave when they're very lil puppies....before they open their eyes. Now this dog wasn't my dog, I was grooming it, shaving down ears completely isn't something I would do to a clients dog.

Wow good to know - the groomer has always shaved her ears. She still does it every time I take her. By the way the groomer is also the breeder where I got this yorkie.

| So you think taping really works?.............. I've heard vets say that is a myth. Sounds like it is working for you! |
