| Am I wrong for being piss!? My puppy is now 7 months and His, excuse me, balls dropped right except only one did and i thought maybe he was stressed and he retained one back but its been a while and theres only one. I went to the vet and the Dr. told me that she couldn't find the other one. I'm so mad i bought him with open registration and everything. WAs my breeder a bad breeder? I called her and told her about my Kiroshi. She said i was the first person to ever call her about something like that and that as far as she knows no other dogs in kiroshi's blood line had the either. She suggested that i have the dr. find the other one and stretch out the cord. She said she's had it done before. I was appalled at hearing this, i called and asked the Dr. and she said that it's never been done to dogs only children. I bought kiroshi for $1200 . She had the nerve to say "didn't i sell him to you as a pet anyways?" My gosh this woman! I was just so angry? He wasn't sold as just a pet and he should've been. I love my little one though don't get me wrong. I'm just piss that i paid more for him than i should've. |

| I'm confused to why you're pissed. A non-descending testicle happens sometimes. If your dogs vet was unable to find it with an exam, couldn't an x-ray been taken. I do understand that you are upset, but being pissed isn't going to solve anything, and only make matters worth. Also, if he was sold to you as just a pet, when they neuter him it should take care of thing's. I hope this help's, please calm down.

| I understand your frustration but $1200 is not a lot for a yorkie. I think the average is $1500. Did you express to the breeder that you were planning on showing him? Are you breeding him or were you planning to get him neutered? I would be concerned as well, but I don't think the breeder can foresee something like this. I'm sorry you have to deal with this, but if he's just a family pet, does it really matter if he has both testicles?

| That's the thing, I didn't buy him as a pet and breeding him is a risk and not something i can do anymore. the dr. said that it can be hereditary, so breeding him now is not an option. when i talk to the breeder she didn't even want to reply to my questions about the sire's dad and brother's, she kept going off the topic about her busy days with the dogs and wrk. i was trying to ask her more about the other dogs and she kept wanting to tell me bout her days wrking in another state. I made it very clear to her that i was looking to breed him and the reason she gave him to me for $1200 is because supposedly he was to be bigger than the others.

| Ok, here's the thing...I read this thread outloud to my husband just because. His first comment / question striked interest in me. Can a male sire a female with only one testicle?? (Not sure if I am using the proper wording as I am NOT a breeder) You said you purchased this male as pet quality. Was it in agreement w/ you and the breeder that you were NOT going to use him as a stud or is this what your intentions were? Or...Are you upset wondering if this is a health issue? Or...did you purchase him w/ an open registration maybe not wanting to use him as a stud NOW but maybe in the future?? If you only want him as a pet and having only one testicle does NOT cause any health issues and most likely you were going to neuter anyway what is the concern? I am not trying to make this sound rude, please don't take it this way. I find your thread interesting and am just trying to figure it all out. Thanks.

| I don't think your breeder could have known ahead of time that only one of his testicles would drop.

| IMO 7 months is still young.....I would give him until at least a year before even being concerned about this. That second testicle could very well appear and the breeder has no way of knowing about this or preventing it so you really cannot rightfully be angry wiht her imo. Shyyorkies, a breeder member here just had a male that she was thinking of selling but his tesiticle finally descened and she is keeping him as a stud now. I would PM her for an exampke and advice. Good luck with your precious boy. |

| I am sorry but give it some time...the other may still drop...I have heard of it taking months...but again if he is a pet it really is not a problem and your price was not extremem by any means- hope you are feeling better about this-

| Stuff like this happens occassionally. There is no way to know for sure if it's gonna happen or not. Personally, I think you are over reacting. If that's the only health issue with your dog, be grateful and enjoy him.

| Exuse me..but if she has NEVER had a male with undesending testicles in her blood line,why has she had the cord streching done before? Obviously because the male needed it right? She contradicted her self |

| I would give it a little longer also. However, your vet is saying he can't even "find" the other testicle? Give it another couple of months. If it doesn't drop, yes, it is a health issue from what I understand and surgery is needed (not positive, but pretty sure). Was he sold to you with the intention of you never breeding him or was that just left as an open decision for you to make in the future? Because if you were not to breed him, this really shouldn't be an issue and would/should require neutering. If you aren't going to breed him, it is better for him and you if he gets neutered. I know Yorkies can go for more than you paid or less than you paid, but no matter what, it is still a lot of money. You have not been ripped off unless you were intending to breed and the breeder knew of it and there was some agreement (or a non-breeding agreement was omitted). |
