Hi! We just got our yorkie a week ago. I was looking for info on when his ears would stand up and came across this great site! His name is Puppy Bear he is 8 1/2 weeks old now.

Welcome to YT!! Your baby is adorable!!

His ears should come up very soon. Just keep the tip of his ears shaved because the hair can weigh them down. Timmy's ears came up when he was about 10 weeks old and I didn't have to do anything but there are some babies out there with floppy ears...like my little girl. I tried shaving them but never taped them. Now she is going on 7 months with adorable floppy ears ..... I just love her the way she is. I also think she will never bring them up. I figured if she wanted them up she would bring them up...she does bring them up half way sometimes.

Congrats on the new furbaby! He is adorable.

Every baby is different. Gracie is 4 months old and her ears just went up within the last couple of weeks. The last ear I had to help along with a bit of tape.

Here are some more pics. He must be a little porker. alot of the yorkies on here are so tiny! The vet said he weighed 3.2 pounds. I couldn't believe it, I was guessing maybe 1-2 lbs. because he looks so tiny. I think she had her thumb on the scale lol. I trimmed the hair around his ears. He didnt like that. Here is one of his cute little butt! I just love when he wags his tail, it's just too cute! And here is one my daughter dressed him up in her american girl doll clothes.

CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS on your new addition! She is adorable!!!!!!!

There is a lot of excellent information on ears here on YT. If you do a search on "Ears" it will bring up a lot of great info. I'm sure you will learn that some yorkie's ears don't ever stand up. Some yorkies have ears in which on stands up and one does, and of course you have seen the yorkies where both ears do stand. You can try to coax your baby's ears up my keeping the top 1/3 of the ears shaved. You can also try taping them up. I've never done this so I don't know how, but do a search on it, as many people have tried this method, also. Also massage her ears regularly.
