Default male

Of course a male with one testicule can sire pups;.but why would you do it? If a breed was about to be extinct, then I see a need to breed whatever to preserve it..but that is not the case with Yorkies.

Bad bites and retained testicules are one of the common genetic faults that are passed along from one generation to the next that can be weeded out...you may see no problem with one testicule, but it is a BIG problem. The vet has to go into the body cavity to retrieve the lost testicle to neuter the male...it is not only means more surgery to the dog, it is much more expensive..so I think you should pass this extra expense along to the buyers of your pups..after all, you bred a male knowing fulll well it could sire males with testicle problems...
