Sorry, it's not worth the risk. There are many more "experiences" of the veterinary dentists that are more accurate. There are dogs lining up at vet clinics all across America with cracked teeth from their loving owners providing ice cubes, bones, hard chews, and the like. Sadly, there are probably many more who don't see a vet. This "what you let them have as puppies affects what they can handle as they get permanent teeth" sounds just ridiculous to me (no disrespect meant, just saying it like I read it).
