Cupid Stunt 18 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Most vets will tell you to wait until the dog has turned a year old & then operate if it hasn't dropped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
collie/grey 238 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Wait until the dog is at least 12 months old, some dogs take longer than others. If it still hasn't dropped i'd get him done mate. If you breed from a dog with only one ball then som eof the progeny will have the same problem as it's hereditary. Regarding the working bit, a castrated dog will work just as well as an entire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbithunter 456 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 can take upto 12 months's to drop. An old dog of mine, he didnt drop his second until about 6-7 months... but if your worried about it, then follow your instincts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dawn B 212 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I agree, remove the retained testicle if nec, but I would wait untill the dog is around 16 mths at least. Obviously the dog cant be used at stud as it is an inherited problem, but removing only the retained testicle will mean no issues associated with catration. Getting fat is not a valid excuse IMO, thats the owners issue not the dog, weight is easily controlled. Some longer coated or wirey coated dogs will become soft and thicker coated which is not ideal.
