I had never heard of it either. I had had other chis with undescending testicles, but they had never been a problem for them, nor prevented breeding. However, with this one, he simply would not put on any weight. He was way to skinny. Vet had him on a special high calorie or something other food, but still nothing. He started thinking maybe it was a tumor. X-rays finally revealed the problem, so I had him neutered and he put on weight quickly after that. Marsha
