Reproductive health: an "odd ball" question.
Hello,
Our boy, Morimoto, is just about 8 months old. We're planning to wait until he is at least 2 years old to grade his knees before deciding to neuter or not, since if he has solid knees it would be a shame to cut an even-tempered healthy male out of the stock. However, only one of his gonads have matured, the second one decended but it is tiny... as if atrophied. I think this disqualifies him for showing, but my bigger concern is if this indicates a predisposition to testicular cancer.
If anyone has any experience on this topic I would really appreciate your input.
