Question Why is age a restriction for carry on pets?

Most airlines say 2 dogs can travel in 1 carrier if they between 8 weeks and 6 months old. Anyone have ANY idea why 6 months? I can see 8 weeks, they don't want dogs too young due to health and stuff, but what difference or what changes (especially in the yorkie) between 6 months and a couple years or 10 years or whatever? My boys weigh less than the allowed weight, fit in a carrier smaller than allowed and are the same breed. I can't even guess as to why they have to be younger than 6 months. Does anyone know?
