Yes, you should also contract your breeder to let her know of your dog's condition as she really ought to not be breeding that line any longer. It is genetic and not a good thing to pass on. With cryptorchidism, the neuter is more invasive like a spay..and like I said before - there is a much higher risk of cancer
