The only advice I can offer is to post your questions on YorkieTalk. I was a first time dog owner also in September and I can tell you the members here gave me so much good advice.
My Sophie's ear are still not standing up, probably never will completely but I love the way the tips flop over, they suit her.
Good luck with your puppy, it will bring you hours if not years of joy and comfort.
