I have a litter of Standard Dachshunds (our other breed) that just turned 5
months old. We kept back 2 pick males here, beautiful. BOTH of these boys'
testicles have not dropped as of yet, and there is another pet pup from this
litter that has only 1 now. After talking to another breeder, I found out
that the stud I used had produced 2 litters prior to this one, and produced
a male with only 1 testicle out of one of those litters. After contacting
the stud's breeder, I am told by her it is her opinion that, "It is very
strange there are 3 pups from this one litter, and that it must have
happened with my bitch during gestation within the uterus."
I don't know if there is any truth to this or if it's an "old wives" tale,
but the old timers I know seem to think it's the bitch that determines if her
offspring have both....
I can get my mind around that because after all, the stud dog has two...so
maybe? I do know there are bitches that produce missing testicles w/
different stud dogs.
...be interesting to hear what others say;)
