I dont think that erect ears " make them more beautiful". IMO my Yorkies floppy ears make him even more adorable! They bounce up and down when he prances around and it makes him look like a teddy bear. He gets alot of attention with those floppy ears!

Thank you so much for your input. Always love to hear different points of view.

We had one with ears down. When she left us, we got one with ears up. Up or down this bread is fantastic.

I've had my floppy eared yorkie for 12 years, she's always had them floppy!

My yorkie puppy has his ears down

[@sablejohnson3845]

I love Yorkers I am a foster mom for my friends Yorkshire Terrier, his ears are floppy but you can tell his ears are trying to Lift up, he surprised me because I had no idea Yorkers came in different colors, his hair isn’t straight but has curls, regardless floppy or erect I love this dog

My Duke will be one on 7/1 & up until he was about 4/5 mo old, only one ear would stand consistently. Now,, niether of them do. I've heard so many different reasons why their ears don't stand & I've heard so many different remedies to do, to help them stand. At this point, im confused & not sure what's right or wrong & or what I need to do, but I am tired of ppl debating w/me on whether he's a pure bred Yorkie or not, just based off of his ears not standing. I mean, I could see the argument b/c he literally resembles a Teddy Bear (Shih tzu-Bichon mix) which is what I had yrs ago.

Maybe try going to a veterinarian and see what they say. I hope you get clarification on his ears

My yorki just turned one (3/26/22)- her ears are floppy. I feel exactly the same way you do. I never tried making her ears standup. She’s every bit a purebred yorkie, it’s just her ears remained floppy!! Thanks for your comment, it’s absolutely relatable ✌️

[@ToBHonest...]

@@1b4101 Okay, so....Idk if this is your situation, but I started taking him to a different groomer who specifically grooms Yorkies & is awesome at their specific grooming style. What I noticed was that the new groomer didn't leave much hair on/around & especially in the ears. Whereas the previous groomer...did & the new groomer stated that could weigh the ears down. His ears have been very erect since & he's been looking more like a legit Yorkie. I wish I could post old groomer pics w/new groomer pics for you to see.

@@ToBHonest... Thanks so much for responding. Pretty cool username as well, wish I woulda thought of that!! What’s interesting is my current groomer, informed of her leaving the location just yesterday. I was a bit perturbed about finding another groomer, you just helped me to find the excitement and a lil motivation to seek out another groomer. I’m here in the San Francisco Bay Area, where there’s tons of everything out here, I’m sure I’ll find a groomer specifically for yorkies!! I never even thought that was an option. I’m very grateful, thanks for the info. *current groomer was more of a intern/student, very nice lady, yet she’s still learning, I don’t think she was familiar with this breed whatsoever, I stuck with her, she was very passionate about all the animals & wanted very badly to learn. 🙂 It sucks that she’s leaving, yet it gives us both the opportunity to explore other options. Trust me, I was not at all this pessimistic an hour ago. Thanks again, friend with the bad•axx username, “karmasAbytch.”😉 ✌️

[@ToBHonest...]

@@1b4101 No problem & thank you. I really hope it helps. Keep me updated w/the results of your fur-baby & overall experience w/the new groomer...if you remember at all. *Long distance Hi-5 👋🏼

My pure bred yorkie's ears are down at 11 weeks.

[@23lESHt0WN12]

I know it’s en almost a year but did they go up? My purebred is 10 weeks & his ears are floppy 😓

[@That1GGirl]

My Yorkie ears are floppy because I refuse to tape her ears up for the pointy ears. I let her hair grow long on her ears so the weight caused it to stay floppy.

[@patriciaswalve7088]

My Yorkiepoo has one ear she holds up and one floppy. She is only 4 months old so that might change. I don’t really care, I just love her how she is

[@sxssa4691]

Did it change?

[@Drthumper420]

If one goes up the other one will follow , from what I read

[@biljanaperisickulic6145]

Hi, my Yorkie is 5 months old and has drooping ears. Is there any possibility to correct them?

[@WindyCityCollectibles]

Is 11 months to old for me to use the tape method on my yorkie his ears never stoop up all the way but they look like they want to! He just has really big ears

[@yyorkie]

He might be a little too old, it may irritate him.
