So should I bring this up to the breeder? The fact that Shadow only has one testicle???? Should she pay for the neutering?? Thanks. |
You should absolutely notify the breeder. I don't know who would pay.... a lot would depend upon your contract and health guarantee. Neutering a cryptoid dog can be a lot more complicated than one with both testicles descended. btw.... are you sure that he only has one or just one that has dropped? |
Theres a nother lady that I was talking to last night, her boy only has one testical, maybe PM her and ask if she has done anything. Heres her user name:Tatiana11 . Please pray for the both of them hes going in to get neutered today and they hope nothing goes wrong! |
I'm sure he HAS two.. but only one has dropped. Be sure you get him neutered though, because I believe it greatly increases cancer. I think you should definitely let the breeder know, as it's hereditary. I'm not sure why the breeder should pay for the surgery though? :confused: |
I would definitely notify the breeder as cryptorchidism is genetic. She really should check out the males in her lines and not be breeding the ones that carry that gene. I don't know if you should expect her to pay for the neuter though unless there is something in the contract that states she would... You also do need to get him neutered as it is genetic and a retained testicle has 10 times the risk of developing cancer. |

And I paid 1600 for him..man, I feel ripped off. I love him though!!! |
How old is he? There is a lot of good info in here if you do a search of it. They have up to 8-9 months for them both to drop I think. I sold a twelve week old boy last year that only had one dropped. i told the buyer ahead of time and she still wanted him. He is about eight months old now and has them both down. i think you should give it time. I also think you should notify the breeder of the possible problem and give it time. i don't know of any breeders contract tho that covers testicules not dropping. mine doesn't but I would want to know about it. Also vets are divided as to if it is heridtory or not. |

Most life threatening issues are covered in the contract. This doesn't happen to be one. However, if the breeder was aware of it, it should have been mentioned and maybe a discounted price offered, if the testicle did not drop, as peforming a nueter would be major surgery. Waiting till the pup is 8 or 9 months for nuetering is advisable to see if the testicle will drop. |

My little guy was almost 10 months before both of his came down. Give him some time, he may just be a little shy. Also, don't feel ripped off. He is your baby! ;) |

how old is your little boy? i thought my boy had only one testicle, but the other one took months and months to finally dropped... it was weird, but now he has two. when the other one finally dropped, one was smaller than the other, but now both are the same size. my vet thinks i should breed my simba. she thinks he's the best looking yorkie she has ever seen at her hospital. anyways, the other might drop. you have to massage it out if you know where the other one is. somewhere in the abdomen? |
I'd let the breeder know, as you did pay a lot of money. Maybe she'll offer to pay half. |
Definitely mention it to the breeder, but there's not reason for her to pay unless it was in your contract. |
