| Trim Floppy Ears Too?? Betty is 9 months old and apparently will forever have floppy ears. That's fine with me. But, should I still try to trim them to prevent any possible problems with ear infections or anything like that?? Thank you.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I do - I like the look - it's really easy - shave upwards and never against the edge of the ear - the trimmer will gouge them ! Here's a BEFORE and After of Chanel - and the trimmer I use |

Yorkie Yakker | Cute yorkies!! I looked at the photos of all your yorkies. They are just way way too cute and beautiful. You must have spent incredible time taking care of them. I wonder if my puppies will ever grow to be as pretty or even close as yours. Great job, mom.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | thank you !! I only have the 2 girls and if you keep up with grooming - it's really not that time consuming - though I admit - my oldest Chanel is more work than Cheri ....her hair just grows so fast - wish MINE did ...it's a cryin shame when your dog has better hair than you do ! |

| Vilette - where did you get those clippers? I think my breeder had the same kind. Is it small and cordless? |

| I could use a new trimmer. Or maybe mine just needs to be sharpened. Mine doesn't do a nice job like thast. or maybe it is just the operator and not the clippers at all. lol "V" your dogs are gorgeous. their hair is always done so nicely. |

| My two have ears that stand, but I still keep them trimmed with the shaver just like Villette told you to do.

| Tootie has down ears and I trim his just because I think it is so cute.. I keep the inside hairs shorter to keep his ears cleaner...
