Lepto is a bacterium, not a virus. The vaccine is not MLV. The duration of immunity is much different. The term overvaccinate is relative.
I'm not suggesting that owners should not vaccinate for lepto, One of my dogs currently gets it, but he is not a sensitive yorkie and he licks everything.
I respect your opinion about the 12 week rule. I just don't necessarily agree. The only reason I will often post to the contrary is because I feel like YT sees the 12 week thing as law and people need to knw that that is not the only way.There are many other countries that do not hold pups for 12 weeks.
And remember, these YTCA breeders that know yorkies and insist on 12 weeks are the same ones that don't generally believe in vaccinating yorkies for lepto because they feel it is too dangerous. Point is, I think we all deviate from their standards somewhat.
