I mean really, no one at YTCA has/had the time to write a proper explanation as to why this is important? That speaks volumes to me .

If I were you, I'd ask this breeder if they'd be willing to keep it until 12 weeks.
I was looking for this information on the YTCA page. Is this what you found?

Edit: I also found this in their code of conduct http://www.theyorkshireterrierclubof...cs/COE_COC.pdf

"All puppies leaving the breeders possession will be a minimum of twelve (12) weeks of age to facilitate adequate socialization as well as appropriate emotional and temperament development through interaction with siblings, dam and other dogs."
