Are you supposed to tape a yorkie's ears to make them stand up?

Taping a Yorkie's ears to make them stand up is not generally recommended. While some breeders may use this method to encourage ear posture, it can be uncomfortable for the dog and may cause stress or injury. Instead, it's best to allow the ears to develop naturally, as many Yorkies have ears that stand on their own as they mature. If you're concerned about your Yorkie's ear posture, consult a veterinarian or professional groomer for advice.
