testicular? - Page 1

Stud dog "Fido" has sired several litters.  In 3 different litters there has been at least 1 dog with an undescended testicle.  Now one of "Fido's" daughters has been bred, how likely is it that she will produce pups with the same problem?

I have heard this is a recessive trait.  Therefore if she was breed to a male that does not have the problem, pups should be fine.  If not, and she produces a pup with the problem, she is a carrier and all future studs should have a history of not producing the trait.

Seriously, only 1 reply..... Is this just not as big of a deal as I think it is.  This is a "genetics" question not a "morality/ethics" question. Or is everyone so busy with their own agendas they just don't see answering my question as a good enough opportunity to promote themselves.........
Yeah, I'm nuts - Pun very much intended

I have heard that  is a trait that is passed on through the females in the litter.....

so maybe that means that you don't keep a girl from that litter???......

I have not had that problem as of late,

I had that problem with a certain stud I was using years back and when I no longer used him, things were better
in that department, I think it takes two to decide on that genetic fault.

I like to keep using a stud with no quirks, so I'll repeat breedings of the same 2 dogs, I don't like surprises,
like CHD, or missing you know whats, or for that matter DD's (disappairing dinky's on female dogs)....

Those lead to urinary tract infections......

Thanks MM

I had a blonde moment and should have just searched past messages....

None of the dogs mentioned are mine.   The Monorchids are owned by friends and clients.  And the stud is owned by someone who says that this has never happend to any of his dogs..... and not only keeps using the "dud-stud" but using him on the same bitches.  Makes me mad but not much I can do about it
