Do a cut the inside ear hair? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My puppy is 5 months. One ear stands up, and then both ears will stand up for a couple of days, and then it will go back down. I have read several different post about, tape, glue, ect to help it stand. I have noticed when I look at pictures, I see the hair is cut out from the inside. Should I be doing that? Will both ear ever stay standing?

I believe that you're supposed to cut off the hair on the top 1/3 of the ear. This helps them stand. Most ears will stand by themselves, and then others will only stand with tape, glue, etc., and then there are a select few that will never stand. Luckily, they look cute both ways! I think the fact that the ears are standing for days at a time is a good sign.

yes, both ears will stand, trust me, i had that problem with lexi, drove me nuts, but i just trimmed the ear when it needed it and left it alone,,
they both did stand eventually, no taping no nothing... i did massage the ear once in a while..
