Guest Frank Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) I have heard of this before , its a long name i cant get my tongue round, let alone spell But has something to do with what you have said Luke, i think its nowt to worry about, but, as far as i know, the pup, when older, wont be able to produce pups? Now, i could be completely rong, just what i heard. Frank. Edited May 14, 2007 by Frank Quote Link to post

lamper12 30 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 i sold a pup to a lady and she is just off the phone saying that the puphas only dropped one ball and her dad who is a vet says she has been ripped off i have checked the other pups and they are all wright i am going to offer her ,her money back and take the pup back what do you think she must take a lot of notice of its balls then Quote Link to post
Tina 1 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Luke that is very good of you to offer to give the money back and take back the pup, some breeders would just fob you off and deny that the pup was affected with this condition, but well done you!! if the testical doesn't drop then I would not breed from it in the future as it's a condition thats passed on down the line both in bitches and dogs, so mum and dad can both (or just one of them) carry this genetic faulty gene, and pass it on to thier pups. BTW they are stunning looking pups!! a real credit to you! Quote Link to post
poppy1 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I think you are a star we had three pups off a guy in lincoln turns out the dog was blind top greyhound vet in our area said breeding - neurological the breeder accused us of letting the pup take a bang to the head and also said it must be the injection! the vet told him the same as he told us but he was having none of it he was rude to both me and the wife on the phone we ended up two weeks ago having the poor pup put down as he kept running in to things full tilt As people that have dogs all our lives you can imagine how this made us feel as a whole family pretty shafted to say the least still I wanted to share this with you as for you to do this for this lady you are a real gent mate Steve Quote Link to post
Meggy 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hes a monorchid as only one testes has descended. I think it increases the chance of testicular cancer. I think its fair to take him back and give a refund. However he will not be able to breed and will probably be best to castrate him. I'm sure someone will want a castrate Quote Link to post
luke 2 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 thanks for the replys i phoned the lady back to offer her money back but she wants to keep the pup i think it was her father that was pushing the issue typical vet but as she was planning to get a bitch whippet in the future for breeding i said i would give her the use of my stud dog for free as iknow he is a hundred percent cant be any fairer than that Quote Link to post
Guest Frank Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Good man Luke. Frank. Quote Link to post
jembo 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 As I understand it (and have read) that the pup must be castrated when he reaches maturity, to prevent future problems down the line...... its a very kind offer to let the owner use your stud dog for free. I wonder if this type of thing is covered by insurance, as when you get a pup you would not know there was a problem - but it is obviously a more techincal operation to castrate?? Quote Link to post
