Just to clarify... I am not the breeder, I just bought him from one as a pet intending to neuter him anyway. I decided days after I bought him that I didnt think I should keep him, and when I called the breeder to tell her that I didnt want to keep him AND that he did only have one testicle evident (but like you all said, the other is most likely up there, and for all I know is now evident...he has another appt on the 30th, so we will recheck then) and perhaps this could be considered a "flaw" (since her "return" policy was only for defective dogs, and I figured a dog for that much money that was not perfect ought to be compensated for or AT LEAST she should have taken him back and offered me an exchange (even though the testicle wasnt really a problem, just hopefully enough justification to return him to somone who could easily find him a new home) rather than act like the idiot she ended up being and tell me she couldnt take a dog back that had already been exposed to other dogs (which means she obviously must NEVER take dogs back that have been sold into homes already having dogs?????). In fact, she really should never even leave her house and then return, since dog viruses are all over and could be tracked in on the bottom of a shoe!!!! I am not going to knock people who breed to pay their bills, though I do have my opinions on that type of breeding reasoning, but I do think all breeders should care about the stock they produce and when charging a lot for a puppy, they should not be picky about the problems their buyers have when not satisfied, because of my experience with her ignorance, I will not recommend her to a breeder whenever anyone asks me where to locally get a dog. Jakey is a great little dog and hopefully his other testicle will become evident (as it is too early for it to drop, most likely, I think that happens in a few more months), but I agree he shouldnt be bred if this is genetic, and anyone interested in breeding would most likely not buy him because of this anyway. I didnt know this was a genetic thing, thanks for offering the info. I doubt the breeder knows this, perhaps I will enlighten her.
