We would all like to have an answer tothe genetic code for undescended testicles, be it horses, dogs, people, orwhatever. Dogs, too, can reproduce with only one descended testicle; however, for health considerations it is best to have a surgical correctionwhich renders them ineligible for conformation competition and , for most,ineligible for breeding due to ethical considerations.
