There is now science behind the wait-theory. It was published in the Vet. Journals but I don't have the link. I did, however, read the entire published paper and it caused me pause in spaying/neutering my own dogs. We waited until our male was 2 and we are waiting through 1-2 heats for our female.
Did you know other countries have spay/neuter laws that differ wildly from the US? It is actually illegal in some industrialized countries. Other's use a procedure that preserves the ovaries in females and does what is equivalent to a vasectomy in males.
Science is an evolving art so we should expect changes as we learn. Breeding an animal irresponsibly makes you look like a yahoo.
