I think you probably missunderstood about the teeth. I don't see any vet wanting to pull out healthy adult teeth... maybe you haven't noticed that there are baby teeth still in his mouth - a lot of people don't... Lacy's baby canines never fell out on their own and had to be pulled so most likely yours still has his baby canines too and that's what the vet wanted to pull.

This is why its not a good idea to just skip around to different vets - find one you like and stick with them so they'll know the history of your dog. If you had done that, your dog would have had an exam prior to being neutered and you would have already known about the one non-descended testicle and the vet would have shown you the baby teeth that hadn't fallen out and discussed the situations with you. Also, when taking an animal to a new vet for the first time, always take the animal in yourself. Unless your MIL lives with your dog 24/7 like you do, she's not going to know him like you do and can't give the vet an accurate history. The person/persons closest to the dog (ie. adults living with the dog) should always be the one to take a dog to the vet, not a friend or relative for this reason
