Dear Carolyn - I am glad the vet used the words "more than likely" and 
"controversial" - I believe that if it aint broke . . .then don't fix it. 
And, like everything else in life, different EXPERT repro vets have 
different takes.  I, as others, go along with the GURU (several levels above 
a "Master") of canine reproduction, Dr. Hutchinson in Ohio.  He has written 
many and widely publicized articles on reproduction and mycoplasma and his 
view is the opposite of your veterinarian on this subject.

I go to dog shows, send bitches out across the country for breedings, breed 
to a boy in my yard, and RARELY (very rarely) have misses & the misses are, 
I believe, timing.   I have, in the past, bred two bitches at the same time, 
thinking one might not take, and both always do !    Have never tested for 
mycoplasma - wait - yes I did - once & it came back "light growth" & I 
didn't treat her & she conceived.
