Important note: only do one ear at a time and wash you hands with warm water and a decent soap before doing the next ear to avoid spreading any bacteria.

I've always used a product called EpiOtic by Virbac (https://www.amazon.com/Virbac-Epi-Otic-16-fl-oz/dp/B00E8GJVBG) and cotton balls. If your dog doesn't like her ears being touched then soak the cotton ball with EpiOtic and gently squeeze the fluid into her ear. It's less traumatic than having it squeezed directly from the bottle. Let the ears soak for a bit and give the ear a good massage. Their ear pockets are pretty deep so make sure you massage the cartilage part to get all the junk out (if it makes gross squelching noises then it's working). I then use a cotton ball thats got a little EpiOtic on it to clean the visible parts of the ear. Once all the visible goop is gone, clean it out with a dry cottonball. I repeat for the other ear and do this once a week if the dog suffers from goopy ears (this avoids it escalating to bacterial infections). Be prepared for a big head flap once you stop massaging the ear and all that gross stuff being spread over you and wherever you are (don't wear your sunday best)! Lol

It varies from weim to weim in my experience. I've had plenty Weims and probably close to 50% needed regular ear cleaning. Some loved it, but others REALLY hated it, so I use cheese or other high value treats to get them to submit. If your pooch doesn't like it, then start off slowly and make a big fuss with love and treats. Since she's so young and less than 16 weeks this is the critical time to get her used to you fiddling with her ears...just make sure it's a fun and rewarding experience for her.

Some just have constant issues and other none. Usually it's linked to a food or environmental allergy.
