That problem is called cryptorchidism (undescended testicles) and it is hereditary and can lead to cancer. So fortunately the surgery will be an easy fix and my little man will be fine after the surgery but somewhere in the background of "her breeding" she bred dogs with that problem. Something a true breeder would not continue to breed. I also read that it is the only disqualifying fault for all AKC breeds. I do not know if she is for all real or not but this is just something else to think about..

YES..undescended testicle is a disqualifying issue for AKC shows which is why my boy was not being shown. I was aware of all this from the reputable breeder when I bought him. His testicle is partially descended so the vet said he is not at risk of cancer from it and it is not hereditary.
He is 4 years old now and we have bred him without incident.
