Most that we talked to started around 7.
Here is a link to AKC about competing in Jr. Showmanship: American Kennel Club - Getting Started in Junior Showmanship
They start at 9 years of age to 18.

For Specialty Shows - location and dates - you need to go to Yorkshire Terrier Club of America and go to Regional Club, Specialty Show Calendar: Yorkshire Terrier Club of America

Haircuts - we do not cut under their muzzles for show - we want it to grow as long as possible.
Here is a photo of one of my girls and then the second photo is her shaking her head. She will be going out next to start showing in late August.

When I lived in WPB years ago the shows were at the Auditorium by the mall and now they are at the Fairgrounds down Southern Blvd.
