Starsky's ears are up!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

TeddyBear · 04-26-2005, 05:16 AM

Everyone kept telling me that Starsky's ears would always be floppy. I kept massaging them hoping they would pop up and then all of a sudden one day they did and haven't gone down since. I even gave him a bath and they still stood up. http://yorkietalk.com/forums/attachm...tid=4076&stc=1 He sure has gotten a lot more awnryer. Silly boy!

Yeah!! Schatzie and I are doing the dance....(good thing you can't see us)

I honestly wish that a Yorkie's ears stayed floppy, I love the floppy look!!

Yay for Starsky's ears!!! Tia has one floppy ear and one standing - we're almost convinced they are going to stay that way too!

I'll keep massaging though - just in case!

(adorable picture by the way!!)

O my gosh! How absolutely adorable!!!

My Skittles will be 8 wks old this Friday - she has floppy ears that definitely have potential to stand - I came upon this post & wondered if somebody could explain what exactly I need to do to encourage her ears to stand.

It's too late for my Pebbles - her ears don't stand - I can't imagine her cute ears any other way - she looks like a teddy bear!

All suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Kim

Good for Starsky. I swear by the massaging method. It worked for Stewie, too.

Mydogkelsey · 04-27-2005, 04:26 PM

Aww that pic is so cute! Congrats! I dont really mind not having the ears up..my dogs' ears are adorable floppy...

TeddyBear · 04-27-2005, 04:46 PM

I massaged and massaged Starsky's ears everytime I pet him. The all of a sudden they stood up and have been ever since. They seem so big for his little body! Ha! I am sure he'll grow into them!

PS: I think he heard the lady at the lacrosse game we were at and she said they probably won't ever pop up. I think he just wanted to proove her wrong!! HE HE!

skimandfrank · 04-27-2005, 04:48 PM

How do you do it correctly?

I was told to start from the inner corner of the ear and work your way up. I also would use both hands while looking at him and pet the ears back. He just loved it!!
