Did you buy the dog for companion or for breeding? It sounds like breeding, which is fine. But everyone should remember that you take a chance when they buy a younger puppy - with looks, confirmation, bite, etc... including 2 testicles to drop. Ivy - I totally understand your frustrations and wanting a perfect dog, but there just is no guarantee with something like this when you buy a younger pup. You are about the same age as my daughter and you learn as you go.
And thank you yorkiemom1970 for confirming what I said about the testicles - still have time to drop.
I have been breeding yorkies since 1979, so I should know something by now.
So testicles are just one more thing that a buyer should make sure that is in their contract if they want both testicles to be there later in life - if not have it added to the contract and if the seller won't - go to someone else or buy a pup that is older and this way you are sure they are there.
You or the seller has no way to guarantee that they will forsure drop when a pup is young (puppy) a 12 week old puppy is just too young for a seller to guarantee that they will drop. I have seen young pups have them down one day and up another day. I have also seen a 10 month old just get his to drop finally.
