| Message | My GSD pups,1male,1 female, are now firmly entrenched as part of the family-I do,however, have a question about my male's undescended testicles.He had 1 down when we got him at 8 weeks-it has since disappeared. Have researched it-but would appreciate any other info on cryptorchids from anyone with more knowledge. The dogs are now 14 weeks old,came from good (supposedly!) pedigree.While I wasn't planning to breed anyway, I'd like to know if the dire warnings of testicular cancer are truly valid,and if so,when is the best time to have my pup castrated.Hate to do it,but I'd hate him to suffer with cancer more!I notified the breeder-what she does with the info is ??? As a GSD owner for 34 years, I hate to see a genetic trait continued..where does my responsibility end? Guess that's more than 1 question,yes? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to any and all who reply in advance. Kat in Fl. |
