I just think that's kindof wrong considering cryptorchidism is genetic...and a cryptorchid dog has 10 times the risk of testicular cancer. Neutering is always recommended so cryptorchidism isn't passed on...more invasive neuter and higher risk of cancer. The AVMA actually says it is unethical for a vet to correct cryptorchidism without neutering the animal.
