 Trouble w/ Texas Breeder
I have had trouble as well. I purchased a male Yorkie from a breeder in Seguin, Texas (Sheila). He ended up being a monorchid (hope that is spelled correctly). When I spoke to another breeder in the area, he told me that rumor had it that the lady had been using a monorchid stud and knew it. She sold me this puppy with breeding rights! I had absolutely no intentions of breeding him after I realized his problem. When I contacted the breeder about the problem she just told me that she did not guarantee anything when it came to breeding. Well, it was not a matter of him not being able to breed (most likely he could have) rather it was a health issue. The undescended testicle could eventually become cancerous. She just told me that she'd never had that problem before and that she could not help me. Unfortunately we had nothing in writing so there was not much I could do. I did sell the puppy last year and told his new owner the whole story- she did not mind that he had this problem. So I am just wanting you all to be aware of this problem. Accoring to my vet, you should be able to feel both testicles by the time the pup is 6 weeks. Some take a little longer to descend but should be descended by the time the pup is 10-12 weeks old. I wish I knew then what I knew now!! |
