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. |
I agree--
Ivy, I am so sorry this has happened to you-
1. It may still drop- a breeder here had a boy whose teste dropped when he was like 7 months old-
2. If it does not - make a decision to either love him as a pet and consider having him neutered so the defect does not pass on through an "accident", or place him in a home that will love him as a pet..
This is my opinion only but I do think it is important to consider-
