That being said, the more obvious reason that this dog should not be bred is the fact that the breeder who sold him has not been forthright or communicative and who knows what other problems may be existing in his background. |

male Of course a male with one testicule can sire pups;.but why would you do it? If a breed was about to be extinct, then I see a need to breed whatever to preserve it..but that is not the case with Yorkies. Bad bites and retained testicules are one of the common genetic faults that are passed along from one generation to the next that can be weeded out...you may see no problem with one testicule, but it is a BIG problem. The vet has to go into the body cavity to retrieve the lost testicle to neuter the male...it is not only means more surgery to the dog, it is much more expensive..so I think you should pass this extra expense along to the buyers of your pups..after all, you bred a male knowing fulll well it could sire males with testicle problems... |

You know I didn't write what I did to be jumped on by others that think they know everything. What I was simply saying is that it is possible that the dog only has one testes not that one is decended and could be cancerous. I'm sorry if that did not come across the way I meant it to sound. That being said, my Bailey's father has one testes, born with one, and is fine, nothing wrong with him. It is possible that a yorkie can have one testes and not be unhealthy. Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth posting your opinion on here because some of you can be awfully quick to judge or point fingers and tell someone they are wrong. What ever happened to the age old saying "If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all" Comments like "WHAT??? Are you serious????? I better leave this alone before I say something that I'll regret!!!!!" are really not necessary!!!! I'm not perfect and don't claim to be, all I am doing here is posting my expereince which happens to not be a bad one, give me a break!!! |
I didn't ask this question to be mean . I just wanted to know , that's all . |
Ok so my daughter is disabled, I didn't know this until after I had her and still chose to have children after her knowing full well there was a chance they could have the same disability. Should I have not conceived anymore children because there is a CHANCE?? |

male This can turn nasty..but it must be said..using a male for stud who has such a known fault is unethical IMO. If a breeder willingly uses dogs with obvious fautls, what else will they do? I believe ethic's is such a large part of breeding, no ethic's and it all goes in the toliet. I do know a portion of retained testicles are very difficult to extract. Some are located deep in the groin and up into the belly areas..the surgery can be far more extensive then a simply neuter. If there is even a 10% chance of a pet owners pet getting cancer as they age..what does it say about the breeder..to me it says the breeder does not care about 10% of the pups they sell or what they may have to endure..not ethical. There is NEVER a valid reason to use a male with one testicle. The Yorkie world is running over with quality males with two of them..you must totally disregard the standard to so. |
I have the trait that causes Sickle Cell Anemia, that means I am one half of a carrier to a very disabling disease( I even have to watch when I get sick, because I get terribly weak, and might need a blood transfusion) I wouldn't wish that on anyone. If I was able to have children, and if I had a mate who had the trait also...we would adopt, or seek other AVENUE'S!!! |

I agree-- Ivy, I am so sorry this has happened to you- 1. It may still drop- a breeder here had a boy whose teste dropped when he was like 7 months old- 2. If it does not - make a decision to either love him as a pet and consider having him neutered so the defect does not pass on through an "accident", or place him in a home that will love him as a pet.. This is my opinion only but I do think it is important to consider- |

Well, from my experience, it is normal for them both to be down at this age and it is also considered normal for them to take longer. Usually if it hasn't dropped the vet can atleast feel it coming down even at 6 weeks of age. Again, I am only speaking from my experience and never had one retained. |

I totally understand! For $1200 you should not only get a flaulless dog but a show quality dog which means both testicles.The reason you bought him shouldn't be a factor in this. This is a heriditary trait, so I would check her male. They can still breed with one testicle. Not recommended. |
