BUT, you can't take that same 1 testicle dog, intact, into the conformation 
ring at  the GSDCA National.  Well, you could but.....  And, I would think that 
the person evaluating a 1 testicle GSD, who has just won the Obedience Victor 
award, would check for two testicles, before approving the eligibility of said 
dog.

It's not a DQ according to the GSD standard, it is a DQ for showing in the 
breed ring.  A lot of folks confuse the two, so I guess it would be a good 
idea, like Lori suggested to further define.
 
Just as a refresher, here are the current DQs for our standard:
 

Cropped or hanging ears
Dogs with noses not predominantly black.
Undershot jaw.
Docked tail.
White dogs.
Any dog that attempts to bite the judge
 
The DQs for the breed ring are listed in Chaper 11 section 8 of the AKC book, 
it is a PDF, not sure this will come through the list but if it doesn't, page 
45:
 


 
SECTION 8. 
A dog which is blind, deaf, castrated, 
spayed, or which has been changed in appearance by 
artificial means except as specified in the standard for 
its breed, or a male which does not have two normal 
testicles normally located in the scrotum, may not 
compete at any show and will be disqualified except 
that a castrated male may be entered as Stud Dog in 
the Stud Dog Class and a spayed bitch may be entered 
as Brood Bitch in the Brood Bitch Class. A dog will 
not be considered to have been changed by artificial 
means because of removal of dewclaws or docking of 
tail if it is of a breed in which such removal or docking 
is a regularly approved practice which is not contrary 
to the standard. Neutered dogs and spayed bitches 
would be allowed to compete in Veterans Classes only 
at independent specialties and/or those all-breed shows 
which do not offer any competitive classes beyond Best 
of Breed.

Yes, Kathy they can BUT   I wonder just how many MALES were neutered because 
they only had 1 testicle   descend normally?  That is clearly a DQ, which is no 
longer a DQ, after   neutering.

You are getting your AKC breed ring DQs mixed up with GSD standard  DQs.
 
BTW a veteran past a certain age can be spayed/neutered and still go in the 
 breed ring.

I  thought you could not show a surgically altered dog in   conformation.  
How could a spayed or neutered German shepherd   qualify?

I am serious, maybe I am missing something.
