I have 2 questions...My puppy Gracie is 6 mos old and she has floppy ears still 1) do i still have a chance to get them up?? How? and 2) Are all your puppies ears trimmed or cut cause Gracies have LOTS of hair on them and i noticed all your puppies have neat clean looking ears!!

Thanks a bunch

Yes , you'll have to trim the ears and tape it .

yes groomers should be able to do this. just tell them what you want done to her and they will do it.

Not to bum you out or anything but at 6 months I really doubt the ears will come up, even with taping. They might stay up for a day or so but thats it. The ears should have been trimmed when they were puppies. Usually the breeders does this before you even get them. But Yorkies with floppy ears are adorable too. Good luck.

Here is something I have learned..take a grocery bag-- the brown kind, then buy some fake eyelash glue. Cut a template from the brown bag, a little smaller than the ear ( sam shape as the ear), . You can use a couple of dots of glue on the bag and press. Keep the te,plate paper on the ear for about 7 days.. then look to remove.. I learned this from a breeder, it will not hurt them.

Yes, have the groomer trim them. Good luck. It's not too late but floppy ears are adorable.
