There are many negative results from this condition - cancer, anxiety, some of the corrective surgeries are invasive and costly depending on where the testicles are located. It is more serious than most breeders realize.
I highly recommend that dogs considered for breeding are always examined by a vet or reproductive specialist before purchasing and breeding. You will save a lot of money and save your dogs from serious health issues. |
Good point.I have only been using our own stud dog for about 6 months. I had been paying for stud service up until my Mr.was old enough. I bought the other stud dog so I would have two.Now I need to find another little man.I felt so blessed to have found him. His breeder is a wonderful yorkie mama.
