Lab 10,979 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 i whuld if it was worth breeding off i whuldent keep a pup from the litter what only had 1 ball Could take ages for 2 balls to drop. If I had done that I would never have the best dog I've ever had or every likely to have. Quote Link to post
Cargol 302 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 It's a fault that will be passed onto his offspring. As said he has probably got 2 but one is retained. The one that doesn't drop can cause problems down the line if not removed. 4 Quote Link to post
nick703 447 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I've a spaniel that only had one ball till he was about two then it droped, he's got none now because he kept trying to shag my terriers Quote Link to post
hunter1 63 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 My border x jackrussell started with one then at 12 months he end with two balls.He thinks he can shag every dog he sees . Quote Link to post
jimgt206 108 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Was told that the undescended ball is likely to get cancerous and best removed 1 Quote Link to post
hunter1 63 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 IF he had a stepladder my lurchers would not be safe ⛔️⛔️⛔️⛔️⛔️⛔️ 1 Quote Link to post
Lab 10,979 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Was told that the undescended ball is likely to get cancerous and best removed I was told that by two vets too, bet they would love my operation and meds' money. Finally spoke to a proper vet who told me that if its stuck there 'could' be a problem with cancer but unlikely till he was around 10. He's 10 nearly now so if he does get cancer he's had a cracking 10 years. Quote Link to post
cragman 2,769 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 My JRT had a retained bollock. The vet said it would drop but never did. It did swell in his groin a year or two backso I had it removed and the other taken out at the same time. Quote Link to post
Dawn B 212 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Undescended testicles are an inherited problem. Testicles are retained OUTSIDE of the body because they need to maintain a lower temperature. When left inside, the retained one often goes cancerous as time passes. They never have one or none, they always have two, but sometimes one or both are retained. If not naturally descended by 16mths, I would have the retained one at least removed. Being inherited, it would be very irresponsible to breed from the dog, it will be passed on. Quote Link to post
marshman 7,757 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I've got a mate that won't go to the pub tonight that's got two retained bollocks . He's wife's got them in a jar I think ? 3 Quote Link to post
AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Many years back 2 males in the same litter (inbred motherXson) where born with one ball descended...one went on to sire a couple of litters...and didnt pass on the trait...if the dog has proved itself worth breeding....and thats what you want...do it...as long as your willing to clear up your own crap behind yourself Quote Link to post
