I have a pure breed male dog that I was hoping to use for breeding someday.
The dog's testicles never dropped after he was born (he appears to
be neutered but never was). The vet told me that the testicles are
still in the body where they developed and he will never breed successfully.
Also there is no operation to remedy the situation. I haven't gone yet
to another vet for a second opinion yet. Does anyone out there knows if 
this is true or had the same experience? In addition, the vet said that
the testicles for dogs with this problem always develop in to tumors 
later in the dog's life and
should be removed while the dog is still young. Is this also true?
