Up or down? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Okay, I'm sure this question has been asked a million different times but how many of you have Yorkies with floppy ears? Dayzee looks so cute with her ears floppy, I almost prefer it that way. Bailey uses his ears as antenna -- sometimes we tell him his ears are on backwards!

I like the ears up best of all, but I have seen some cute ones with their ears down.

Magic's ears are upright, but Sailor has one up and one down and we just love it!!! Her second one never went up and we just didn't force it to!!

I have three and all the ears are up and the two I bought as puppies, had the ears up at six weeks. I think they are cute with floppy ears but just not for me. When I was shopping for mine, that was the first question I asked. I just hope they stay up thru all this teething. Ceeby already has some new teeth (double back teeth) and ears have stayed up so far.

Frodo's ear are floppy and they're cute! I prefer them that way, but he's only a puppy (13 weeks) and they may change as he gets older. No matter, I'll always love him!

Ah yes, the floopy ear debate goes on all the time between my husband and myself. He likes "the dude's" look, I want his ears up. I finally told him not to mess with the way I dress my "dolls", or I mess with his golf clubs. Surfie has an appt. on Friday at the groomers.

The golf thingy works every time. hehehe~!

When I got Gizmo from the breeder, she had his eats taped up. Which just means that there was a small piece of ducktape inside them. I felt so bad when I saw it. But I don't think it hurt him at all. Maybe a little when we took it out. But ever since then they have stood on their own. I don't think it matters really if they stand or not, because they are all adorable either way! Sometimes I just love to look at all the floppy ears on here! They are too cute!
