This is where going to shows and studying the yorkie standard comes in. There are so many things that have to come together to make a show dog. Of course they have to have a proper silky coat, but they also need to have a balanced body, legs not too short or not to long, The body should be fairly square. The tail set and ear set are important. A good topline (level back) is very important. The front feet should not toe out a lot, the chest should not be real narrow. The rear legs should have proper angulation. If a dog has straight stifles or is cow hocked the dog won't have the proper drive and movement. Head carriage is also important as is personality. Many of theses things you can't really tell for sure on a young puppy. If you are interested in showing then I think it would be very important for you to meet someone that is experienced in showing and get them to evaluate your puppy. I will be looking forward to seeing more pictures of your little girl.
