I don't think a replacement is really fair to the breeder. That said, I think she should pay the difference between a regular neuter and the expensive surgery. Ex: you were going to pay $250 anyhow, so if the sugrery is $650 then she should pay $400. That is JMHO

Lets not forget the buyer paid $1500.00 for a pet (crazy to me 
) that will have no other option than to neuter the dog for a health concern..... I think that warrants more than a $400.00 refund.
My issue is that the seller didnt divuldge this PRIOR to the dog being placed. Since when is that OK?

well i paid 1500 for the pedigree as i wanted german lines -= also he is a most beautiful dog with an excellent temperament and very easy to train - all the qualities of his lines.
My beef is that the breeder DID NOT TELL ME - when i called her again she admitted to having another pup with that condition.
My quandary now is:
should i neuter now , at about 1 year?
should i wait?
should i do nothing...

I have NO DOUBT at all that this dog was held back because of this issue. The breeder was waiting to see if the testicles would descend. For this pup to cost $1500 for PET QUALITY he must have a pretty terrific pedigree! I paid $1250 for a pup that had 5 siegers in the first 4 generations, and that was WITH breeding rights!
A dog with that sort of pedigree isn't still at the breeder's at 5 months unless there's a problem.

| 10 months and has an ultrasound to see where his crown jewels are as the vet said he has only ever seen 4 cases like this and one was a cat! well, one is somewhere almost near his kidneys..and the other isnt to be found.. now what should i do? neuter immediately? wait? do nothing? Other than that he is a marvelous dog, excellent temperament and so easy to train,,, |

| I would wait until he stops growing and maturing. I neutered my monorchid boy at 10 months and really did not like the outcome of his growth pattern from that point on. Extra giant long legs, and he never really grew into them; also was 120 lbs. after maturity. Just did not grow evenly like he should have. Maybe by then you will be able to locate the other testicle. Good luck Nan | |

Neuter!, because those nots are lost and never will be found. It's been too long and the opening is now closed. They will never descend and the dog is not breeding quality. Make him a nice pet or move on. Your going to have to take a loss.

Sunsilver, I beg to differ with your last sentence. Often the nicest are the last ones the breeder parts with. I'm struggling with selling an 8 month old I kept for myself...certainly not a darn thing wrong with him!

I agree with Jenni. I'll hold on to my best pup as long as possible. I want the best home suited for that pup.
It's unfortunate that common belief is that any senior pup still at the breeder's is a reject.

holding on to a dog to see how they turn out is common, holding on to one to see if the nutz drop is a different issue. any breeder who does not know this is at 5 mos. is not knowledgeable enough to be breeding and if it not's disclosed they lack ethics.

my animal science professors in my classes (about 15 years since reproduction class) says that if the testes don't descend by a certain time then the animal will be sterile if they ever descend which is highly unlikely by this age. Therefore, unless it is going to be a health concern on location of the testis then I wouldn't even bother paying for expensive neuter. some cities, if testes never descend will classify them as neutered, since technically they have no functional testis.
