Reproduction Issues in the Mudi
Missing testicles, Cryptorchidism: a condition in which one (monorchid) or both testicles (bilateral cryptorchid) of your dog fail to descend into its scrotum; there is strong genetic evidence in dogs, as well as in the Mudi breed; it does seem occur in some family lines more than others; affected dogs should not be bred; close relatives should not be bred with other mates that also carry this same risk; genetic risk is carried by males and females, with those dogs having an affected sibling having higher risk to also carry the genes responsible.
More detailed information will be available in a future Mudi Directions post.
