Is this true or false??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I met a lady where I use to work at a grooming salon who had a yorkie with absoultely no hair on the ears, no stubble completely no hair. It looked like a rat or a chinchillas ear that is just all skin with no hair. I asked her about it and she said that she use to breed yorkies and there were two different kinds, one with hair on the ears, and one that was born with no hair and would never have hair on the ears. I found this to be ridiculous, it did not look desirable, looked more like a genetic defect but according to her it was normal. I don't think there is such a yorkie that is like this, but I could be wrong, so is it true or false??

It's called leather ear, but I have never heard of anyone breeding to get it or thinking it was desirable.
