A couple things...

Welcome to YT!

So that my puppies are guaranteed to not end up in "the wrong hands", I spay and neuter all puppies going to pet homes when they leave. A spay/neuter contract just doesn't always work. Even when you sell a puppy to what seems like the most honorable person, sometimes they make a mistake and have an "oops". And sometimes that "oops" is intentional whether they admit it or not.

I personally would sell those blue puppies at a very reduced cost and definitely have them spayed/neutered before they leave. Then you don't have anybody that gets the wild idea that they might be able to make a few bucks and sell a "rare" yorkie.

As for your boy going to the puppy match. He is cute! You really need to work with his ears and get them up. Our standard states that the top 1/3 of the ear is to be shaved. So not only should you shave them because of the standard, but because it will get the extra weight of all that hair off his ears and help them to stand. At his age, you may even need to tape them to help them stand. What I prefer to do is just massage the ears to bring that extra blood flow to the tips.

Good luck and good job with taking the proper steps to be a reputable breeder!
