i know this is probably a question nobody has every asked, but well you know me. I'm going to be the difficult one! lol
Hank is a yorkie poo and his ears are soooo big that he would look funny if they stood up all the way.
His ears are really droopy, and i was wondering if any one knows of a way to make them not stand up, but just perk up.

It's hard to explain what im talkin about, but they are REALLY floppy but when he hears something they PERK up, not stand up, but the base of his ear just perks up. I was wondering if i trimmed just a little off the tip of his ear if it would work or if any of you girls/guys had any ideas?

I hope you mean trim the hair at the tip of his ears.

If so, then it wouldn't hurt to try that.

I think, in order to give any type of valid advice, we need to see some pictures of your little cutie. 10 or 15 at least!

He sounds adorable

Noel was supposed to be a full Yorkie but we believe her to be a Yorkie Poo. She has HUGE ears. Haha. And they do stand up. I swear she can get radar. LOL. Anyway, yes if you trim the hair around the ears it does help to keep them standing. I know when Noel's hair gets long her ears start to flop. Does your guy get a ton of hair inside his ears? Just wondering. Noel has an abnormal amount of hair that grows inside her ears and I feel bad I'm always pulling it out. It grows inside the canale. Elaine
