OK, well the Vet said at 4 months, she could only feel one. My friend just came over, and she said she could feel one, but it hasn't really dropped yet, but its there. Can they father babies with just one? Maybe the other one will drop later?????????? Hes very small, would that have anything to do with it? Maybe it will just take longer because he is so small.:aimeeyork |
Hello, One dropped testicle usually does produce sperm, just half the normal amount. The one that hasn't dropped produces sperm, but they are usually dead, sperm need to be kept cooler than the body temp by a few degrees. Half is still enough to produce babies, but cryptorchids shouldn't be bred because it's usually a genetic trait. Whitney |
Well, heres my question. I bought this dog with the sole intention of using him as a stud. Don't you think the breeder should of had him checked out by the vet. I didn't purchase him until he was 3 months old. I knew nothing of male dogs, because I always had females. The breeder knew I wanted him as a stud. I know the vets can feel them now at 8 weeks. I don't know if she intententionly misled me or just didn't know any better. I took this dog to a breeder down the street, and she kept saying "what a shame" He's like underveloped. She said she doubt very much whether he would ever father a litter. With a good stud don't you want a good pair of testicles? This breeder kept bringing out more and more of her male dogs and showing me the sacs. They were hugh!!! ha ha So, my options are??????? Give him a year, have him checked, then neuter him and sell him as a pet, and I"m out a whole lot of money? Well, I"ve learned my lesson, and if I ever buy another male, it will be in writing!!! |
Hi, I think at four months that he's got time, but I don't know that much about male dogs. I'd say you've got at least a few more months before you need to start worrying. Whitney |
NO, hes 7 months now. At 4 months the vet told me he had only 1. |
I have a male that did not drop his first until he was around 14 months...dropped his second at 16 months. He's a bit on the smaller size so we were waiting longer than normal to schedule his neuter. Thank goodness we held off! |
