You even more so want to neuter a cryptorchid dog because they have 10times the chance of developing cancer with their testicles trapped inside of their abdomen. Also, a cryptorchid is not fertile because the the testicle being in the abdomen causes the sperm to be in an environment that is too hot for it to be viable. You would not want to breed a cryptorchid dog if possible either because it is genetic and something you don't want to pass on in the lines... |
Wow thats amazing.You educated two members.I wasnt aware of that.I did hear that if testicles dont drop by a certain age isnt likely to happen.I also was told by a breeder that theres some kind of hormone injection that can be given at a young age.(I think she said 2 months or so)She said it prevents this from happening. ?Now that you say this I question this because even though the the testicles end up dropping, this wont prevent the gene from being passed on to its offspring. I would wait a few more months and just have him neutered if they dont drop.You dont want to take any chances.
