I don't know exactly how much is true, but.if the man used to breed German Shepards, then he would have known that having only one testicle is not good for a breeder male. He probably took him to the vet and the vet was able to determine which reason the testicle was undescended. Or.if the dog got sick, perhaps he had developed Cancer from his? Never know, just know that Desi has been neutered before anything horrible happened.

We scheduled his surgery for as soon as I was able to care for him afterwards. He had quite a few incisions also. About a week later the lady that bought Desi's littermate brother met me at my vet's office.she had previously been taking the puppy to the breeder's house for his vaccines. I wondered why she hadn't just taken him to a vet, and the puppy therefore had never had an examination which included his heart, respiratory, or the others things that are checked. Well, when I bring my two, he will listen to their heart and their lungs and palpate here and there..this day with Desi's littermate brother, he went right for the groin. He felt and felt and then said that he is almost positive that he had the same condition. He said that the gene from the father is passed to every male puppy. When I asked if I should tell the breeder, he said she would know because the father would have one undescended testicle also. Well, I never saw his father, and when I told her that I would like to get a picture of Desi with his parents, she said that she gave his father to a friend who used to breed German Shepards. So she was going to set up a visit, but 'just the luck' or 'just in time' the friend moved and couldn't keep the sire and sold him on ebay..you DO NOT sell a breeding male on Ebay! Then I said that was OK, I wanted to get a picture of Desi with his mother.and when I went to the breeder so she could see how big he is (over 9 lbs and no fat) the husband told me that the lady who bought his mother moved away also! My vet said that the only other way that the puppies would have this condition was if the mother and father were too closely related.maybe that is what happened also.I will never know, but I am happy that my vet caught this early before it choked off something inside of him or developed into a 'big ugly cancer' as my vet said. I know it is so sad when your little ones are all cut up, but Desi really recuperated very fast (he had his dewclaws removed at the same time). Take care of yourself, too!

Desi had that, and he had three of four incisions on his belly to be able to get the free floating testicle. Give them both hugs and tummy tickles (carefully, though!) for me.

Chico was cut in 3 places on his little tummy. And both weighed 4 1/2 pounds each. I am so glad to have them home. Thanks everyone for all the good thoughts. Ann -- -- Ann
