THE VET SAYS THAT MY PUPPYS TESTICLES HAVE NOT DESCENDED (CRYPTORCHIDISM). HOW DOES THAT AFFECT US AND/OR THE PUPPY?
A. When the puppy leaves us and goes to their new home their testicals may not have descended yet due to the age. When you take your puppy to the vet for their neuter procedure they may find that they are undescended. Undescended testicles, also called cryptorchidism, do not typically affect the puppy in any major way. It is not an uncommon issue in most breeds and can happen in Airedales. Sometimes one or both are undescended. The procedure for the neuter may be more invasive and could cost slightly more. Your puppy was sold as pet quality. We do not make any guarantee about undescended testicles for pet quality puppies. All pet quality puppies are sold with neuter contracts regardless of whether the testicles are descended or not. We would like you to let us know if your puppy still has undescended testicles by the time of the neuter.
