Both Tippy and Shadow were smaller (25-30lbs) but both fully accommodated me so I really can't say.
I'd say just generally to stop if she shows any discomfort. If she's comfortable and seems to enjoy it part way though, and you know absolutely when to stop, I cannot see the harm.
I usually recommend against smaller dogs though, just as a general rule. There are, as my girls were, always exceptions. I definitely would not try forcing her to take more, by intentionally going deeper or by attempts at stretching her as some would do. That is going to be uncomfortable, and possibly dangerous, for her and thus cruel.
Just my thoughts on it,
