Pukipoms Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Who knows all about this condition? Who has breed from a dog with one? Is it hereditary? Should a dog like this be desexed? Im novice so that why the questions. As a breeder if your dog whelped pups and a male ended up with this did you desex the Pup? Im possibly interested In buying a male with this condition, is this a Bad Idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretel Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 How old is the pup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavandra Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 If it is a young dog it will likely come down, keep massaging it down into position frequently. However, it is still a hereditary condition & it will likely breed on. If the dog is older then it should be desexed, as if you surgically have it kept down, you can not show the dog as it has been surgically altered, and if you breed from it you will likely produce it......... When testicle issues are ignored, or the longer they take to decend is forgiven by a breeder they will eventually end up with no testicles in their litters. The best pup I have bred to date had a floating one, I just pet homed him, as even though it would have come down for good, at 6 months it was unforgiveable to me.

Pukipoms Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hes almost a year old? he has excellent blood lines with champs etc.... But Im worried that If I brought him to use for breeding this issue will be in my future lines... I guess Im weighing up if its worth it... I have heard that the testicles that float can become cancerous.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puggy_puggy Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Dog should be desexed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavandra Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 IMO if a dog is being offered for sale at that age with that problem then it is likely that that particular breeder doesnt think of it as a problem, and therefore there could be many dogs in that pedigree whereby the testicle issues have been forgiven......Absolutley not worth it.....

Alyosha Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Is floating different to undecsended? I haven't heard of it before?? Or is floating when it's down but isn't connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
