| After a year of age its doubtful if the other testicle will drop. It is also a major genetic fault and should not be bred. Also. being that he only has one, chances are he might not beable to produce and breed sucessfully. That is not always the case, but a possibility. |

| He also needs to be neutered pretty soon. Cryptorchid dogs have 10 times the risk of getting testicular cancer so it's really a must that cryptorchid dogs be neutered.
