In the world of canine breeding, encountering a puppy with a missing testicle, known as ectopic testis or cryptorchidism, is not uncommon, affecting 1.2 to 5% of male pups. This condition, where one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum, can have significant implications. For breeders, it means such individuals should not be bred due to the potential spread of unfavorable genetics and should be neutered to prevent health risks like testicular tumors and torsion.
