I just read the Standard through and, believe it or not,
the fact that a male must have both testicles normally
descended is NOT mentioned anywhere in it. (That is,
unless I'm going blind, which is always possible.)
Perhaps, if we are going to look at revising the Standard
next year, this might be addressed with a line added to
the section on "Hindquarters"? For that matter, probably
so should be the fact that blue and liver dogs are
disqualified in one section of the Standard and merely
designated as "serious faults" in another. Shouldn't the
Standard spell these things out loud and clear and not
appear to be contradicting itself? <shrugs>
