I ALWAYS have puppies examined by my vet - no shots - I can do them myself -
but if you didn't see the hernia, nor realize that he did not have any
testicles descended, then perhaps you should do the same - have puppies
examined by your vet before you let them go.

There's so much wrong w/ this. I'm glad you answered Iza:)
OF COURSE you have the pups examined; it protects you as well as the new
owner, but how on earth can someone "miss" missing testicles and a hernia?
What
about things they can't see/hear/feel? Let's see...a heart murmur, mega....
Now, to operate on the youngster now or wait...who knows? All I know is
that these new puppy owners have a mess on their hands. It's one thing to
have
a situation you disclose, write in your contract/guarantee/warranty, but to
not know and sell the puppy and have to learn from THEIR VET....sad....and
inexcusable really.
