Floppy Ears? Does anyone have a yorkie who's ears arent standing? My baby Tucker is 12 weeks old now and his ears still are not standing. Ive tried the massaging of the ears, and taping them. I feel so bad when I tape them up he doesnt seem to mind but I hate it. Anyway it didnt work, is it normal for a yorkie to have floppy ears? Also my baby is a big boy at just 6 weeks he was 2.2 lbs does that mean he is going to be huge? |
I think it just takes time. My Meka's ears were'nt standing at 9 wks... And it was about a month or so before they stood on their own. I never taped em or anything... Your probably a little anxious, but I think his lil ears will stand on their own :) |
Baxter is almost a year - He's has the floppy ears - I love them. |
Seth has floopy ears and would not change it....He would not look like Seth:D |
1 Attachment(s) I just loooove floppy ears!!! |
1 Attachment(s) Max's ears didn't stand up until he was around 13 or 14 weeks. I'm not sure exactly when but his pictures at 11 weeks have floppy ears and his pictures at 15 weeks have ears that stand up. :) For several weeks he had one ear that stood up and the other flopped over. I have read that when they're teething a lot of times their ears will fall. This picture is of Max at 11 weeks old. |
ears Ask the breeder to show you how to trim and tape...it can take a few weeks of taping if the ear is bigger and heavy... |
I have the same problem. I trimmed Koda's ears, but he won't let me tape them up! And I feel so bad trying to do so, so I stopped. The one ear stands up, then sits back down at times. Does it matter if they never go up? |
1 Attachment(s) Bobby has Floppy ears. I never taped them. I think he looks cute with his floppy ears! |
Some Yorkies have ears that will never stand up. My Krissy and her daughter Kayla have ears that are down butr Krissy's other puppies some are up and some are down. My Chelsey took until she was 6 months for her ears to go up. |
my baby had floppy ears when he was 2 months old.. they are up now.. but my sister purposely grows her baby's hair out so the ears flop.. but when she gives him a haircut it goes back up =D floppy ears are cute though.. just wait and his ears will go up to =D |
My Little Rocky's ears never went up. (he is 5 years old) They are the floppy ears like everyone is talking about. But I think he is a doll anyways. That's my boy! He is pictured under my name. :aimeeyork :aimeeyork Darlene |
I have had 4 yorkies in my life, 2 had ears up and 2 down. My tillys ears flop down but I love her to bits.. |
1 Attachment(s) Madeleine's ears are floppy. I never tried taping them because my thought was if they didn't stand on there own then they were meant to be floppy! I think they are so cute too! Also, a lot of people say it's usually the bigger yorkies that have floppy ears but my little girl is 4 1/2 pounds, so it isn't just the bigger yorkies. |
My little Rosie's ears go up sometimes, and sometimes they are down. She is 15 months old. I was hoping hers would stay up, but I guess they were not meant to be, so I have two with floppy ears. Then I have Romeo (Yorkie/Poo) and of course His ears are floppy, just like his mother (the poodle). What a houseful! :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa Darlene |
HI there!! It's been my experience with the larger yorkies that they are more likely to have floppies. My boy is 9 pounds and he's got flop ears. Maybe if you keep the hair trimmed as much as you can so they aren't weighed down, they'll have a better chance of standing. I LOVE FLOP EARRED YORKIES, TOO. Check out my OTis in my Avatar!! Forgot to tell you, it does take quite a while before you know if they will stand or not. During their teething they will be different every day, up and down and one up and one down. |
my girl is the same and she's 4 1/2 months old. The breeder just emailed me and asked if she should tape them for me or leave them. I do think floppies are cute but I decided to tape them... but talk about a hard decision! Of course, if they still don't go up then I don't mind she'll just be my cute floppy eared girl. D- |
I remember my Kimchee used to have one up and one down, and then next day the other way round. He is now 2 years old and when he just woke up from his naps, one of his ears will be floppy, it is so cute though. My another girl who will be 5 months old next week never has floppy ears (so far). I am not sure if hers will come down due to teething, but I have yet to see that. |

3 Attachment(s) Bridget’s ears are floppy but we never tried to get them to stand. It is funny because when she wants to she can hold them up especially if something has caught her interest. We leave the hair on her ears long. She loves to play. |
