I am looking at her from a USA judges thinking. At her weight of nearly 4 pounds at 12 weeks..it is likely she will be 8 to 9 grown..and if that is evenly distributed on a compact frame, you might get away with it...she would not look too large for the ring...but if she continues to grow on leg as they can do..then the judge sees an oversized bitch and most will not win.

I do not know the type Yorkie that is shown where you are...I would go to the shows and see if her size will be a factor in making it hard to finish her...

I love her green eye flash..she will no doubt have a good, dark steel coat..her muzzle is a bit long, but a well placed and constructed top knot will change that quite easily..and refine the look...
I would work with her and she what her size levels off to be..Best wishes

What is the correct tail carriage for a Yorkie with a full tail...I do not think is allowed to curl over the back like a Maltese..check that out also.
