How old are the puppies? Are you keeping the hair trimmed on the top of the ears? Sometimes the ears will drop while they're teething but they come up again. If you're worried you can gently massage the ear from the base to the tip...it helps circulate the blood to that area so the ear will stand. Our vet recommended that when we got our first Yorkie and it definitely works.

They just turned 9 weeks old.

I have taken them to the groomers and shaved 2/3 of the ear. Do you think it is too early to worry???

they will stand. if they are not up on their own, try that method listed in that thread I just copied on my last reply along with massaging. that will get them standing if they do not come up on their own by like 12 weeks.
