Overwhelming view for every breed of dog? I don't think so. There was no bile at anyone. Questioning of course. You asked for peer reviewed studies - yet you showed none. The fact remains that over here in North America, both the YTC A and Yorkshire Terrier Club of Canada recommend 12wks old. And they are not alone - Maltese Clubs and many other toy breed clubs do so as well...
