No. As a breeder I would never breed a cryptorchid for any reason.
However, speaking to vets over the years, it becomes very clear that cryptorchidism is not "always genetic". Vets (many) I have spoken to tell me that in the hundreds of neuters they do over the years - there are not "many" with actual missing testicles. The "missing" testicle is there somewhere - how genetic is the problem depends on the reason it is not descended. I'm told MANY are caused by twisted or misdirected cords - cords wrapped up or turned around, preventing the testicle to descend. Some can't descend due to short cords, and some testicles are underdeveloped, rarely missing. Regardless, would be impossible to tell if the problem is genetic or oops the cord got wrapped - so of course judges can't KKl a dog with missing testicle, and breeders can't assume it is not genetic.

And if you bred one of your males and in the resulting litter, one of the males turned out to have only one testicle descended, do you stop breeding that male because he produced a pup like that?

So your saying it's the combo of the pair that will produce this not the male? So then say the male in questionis bred to a different female and none are produced do you rule it out from the male? Or, wait to see 2-3 breedings more to see how many, if any crypts are there? And then how do you deduce where it came from?

After dealing with this, I tried to find breeders who would openly tell me if their dogs produced testicle problems. No one wanted to tell me. If its so acceptable then breeders need open up and let the buyer decide for themselves if they want a dog from this gene pool. If a breeder has nothing to hide, then hide nothing.
