This can turn nasty..but it must be said..using a male for stud who has such a known fault is unethical IMO. If a breeder willingly uses dogs with obvious fautls, what else will they do?
I believe ethic's is such a large part of breeding, no ethic's and it all goes in the toliet.
I do know a portion of retained testicles are very difficult to extract. Some are located deep in the groin and up into the belly areas..the surgery can be far more extensive then a simply neuter. If there is even a 10% chance of a pet owners pet getting cancer as they age..what does it say about the breeder..to me it says the breeder does not care about 10% of the pups they sell or what they may have to endure..not ethical.

There is NEVER a valid reason to use a male with one testicle. The Yorkie world is running over with quality males with two of them..you must totally disregard the standard to so.
