Not exactly. Here is a more precise definition:

Cryptorchid The adult whose testicles are abnormally retained in the abdominal cavity. Bilateral cryptorchidism involves both sides; i.e., neither testicle has descended into the scrotum. Unilateral cryptorchidism (also called monorchid) involves one side only; i.e., one testicle is retained or hidden, and one is descended.

Monorchid A dog that has one testicle retained or hidden in its abdominal cavity. See cryptorchid.

GIGI,
I haven't been able to get back to your reply. I have been very busy resolving this issue over the male yorkie. Things went very well for the little male. I won judgement of the yorkie male.
I first need to say HE did not go back with the breeder. Nor was I planning to allow him to go. He is at this time being placed in a wonderful pet home approved by myself and a Veternarian. I did not charge for him. My concern was his care & happiness. He will be neutered and checked on to see everything is as it should be. He cannot be sold or placed into another household. He comes back to me and will just live here.
I have 3 female Yorkies that live in our "home", and I'm not a BYB.
Is the little memo ( NOT SO REPUTABLE) at the top of this page aimed at me?? If it is you don't know me. As for your comment about buying from a
reputable show breeder. That I would of have plenty of recourse, and they only sell to those who want to learn acordingly. Cheap Shot!! As for recourse I think; maybe or maybe not. And for wanting to show and learn accordingly. Not everyone has the money to purchase a "very" expensive show/breeder yorkie, and have the money for campaigning this dog to a championship. It is more than costly and VERY POLITICAL. I have learned a lesson from this experience and the last thing I need. Is someone to judge me and rub my nose in it.
I hope you will rethink being so judgemental. Remember the shoe could someday be on the other foot!!!!!!!!!!

And are you attacking someone who is? As I sure did not. As there are all types of breeders! And as far as costly to show it is not if you have a good dog! But then this is usually one's cop out! How do you know it is very political? We all have started out new! You also posted you could not afford an expensive good dog. I would think breeding only the best is what someone would want to have and do, as well as having healthy dogs not only the dog itself but for many generations. This also means knowing if there are testicle problems as well as other things in a line. Are you knocking show breeders for wanting only the best??? So who was judgemental here????

Buying the dams and stub are only the beginning, they should see a vet for at least two sets of shots and worming and check-ups...not to mention tail docking, dew claw removal and, I haven't looked into it too much - breeding is low on my list of priorities right now, but isn't there an ear trimming proceedure in there somewhere as well? None of which I would attempt at home. It can add up quicker than a lot of people realize when they're blinded by the sale price that some of the dogs are fetching.

I'm certain that nobody has ever set out to become the sort of breeder that you had to deal with with your little boy. But costs and lack of time can quickly make you into one if you're not careful. I'm also certain that no one here is trying to be mean or political, we just have the best interest of this beautiful breed at heart.

Good luck with your new little boy! :)
