breeder has asked not to nueder male ...advice????

testicle..sorry eyes tired

Hi George07,

Why did the breeder not want you to neuter your dog.

I generally like to wait till a German Shepherd is between 18 months old to 2 years old to neuter them, when they are done growing.

 If you have a dog that has just one testicle that has decended, then that means the other one is up inside the abdomen, and the body will attack it and treat it like a foreign object.

  That can lead to getting a tumor from it, which down the road can possibably lead to cancer.

 How old is your dog?

 There is the chance it still may drop down.

He will be 3 inmay and veterinarian is about 95% sure there is no second I want him nuedered for the sake of his health ...did all the research contact tufts and cornell breeding programs they told me to wait till 24 months...I did ..the breeder still thinks hes breedable i do not agree...

It would be a matter of health in his case, to neuter him.  I don't agree with the breeder either, that is a genetic defect that can be passed on to pups.

I have decided to neuder him this month....unfortunately his breeder is local and keeps using the stud that passes this on...
