could it be anything? i wanna take her to the vet, but then on n off geh, very hard wanna identify anything if take her there..

Good day everyone,

There is a question I would like to ask all MALE Toy Poodle owners. At what age would their testicles descend to their scrotum? My Teddy boy turns 1 years old next month and I just noticed a black bulge beneath his genitals. After close inspection and some confirmation through online search, It is proven that the black bulge is Teddy's scrotum.

The problem is, there is only one testicle in his scrotum, the left one. His right testicle is still located around his abdominal area. Is it too late for his testicle to descend at this point?

I have read articles saying that dogs with Cryptorchidism (Undescended testicle) are 13.6 times more likely to have testicle cancer. I am going to bring Teddy to the vet tomorrow but I hope to hear some thoughts from you guys. Thanks

Hey ~ i wanna ask . I wanna buy a toy poodle. My friend poodle's mom and dad is toy poodle but now my friend poodle so big like miniature poodle @@ . I cant keep it so big i rather keep it small , so is it adviseable to buy from breeders without mka cert? or mka cert not that important? If anyone's poodle having a litter let me know i wanna buy budget 500 to 750

Seriously if you only love the dog judging by it's size then I advise you not to buy one. What if he/she grow too huge and you decide to dump it after that? A teacup poodle can grow into toy size also, sometimes can't be determined by parents size. You're budget is too little, like what Aure said prepared to buy a sick dog home with that price. Mind you that the expenses at the 1st month cost x2 x3 more than what you paid for the dog and every month prepare to fork out money as well.
Did you lock the poodle in the cage? Put outside the house? Or somewhere alone? Maybe it's afraid as it needs time to adapt to the new environment.

Hmm not really, my girl when she 'gan cheong' her whole mouth wet LOL and everytime I bring her out this is what happened, you hardly even see her dry mouth, just like Max she lick non stop.

@suzannetan
before u scold ppl like that , please learn how to know someone first instead of judging a book by its cover . Reading ur post makes me pissed off.

I LOVE BIG DOGS MORE THAN SMALL DOGS. I RATHER KEEP THEM BIG.

BUT I AM LIVING IN APARTMENT SO I CAN KEEP SMALL DOG.  I FEEL VERY LONELY AND NEED A COMPANION.

I GOT MONEY TO PAY THE EXPENSES OF THE DOG. IM NOT STUPID OK , I KEPT 6 DOGS BEFORE . YOUR NOT ANSWERING MY QUESTION UR JUST GIVING MEAN CRITICISM. You have attitude problem. Im sorry for raging , and if i offended but yeah..
@the person who had the poodle barking problem.

I think u shud see ceasar millan , dog whisperer. lol

You need to restrict it. Ask him no bark , if he stops give him treat. Dont be scared or change ur energy on it. Dog can sense the owner energy and if your not calm as well , then your dog will follow you.

how can you not care where they come from? the least that you need to care is whether they are from puppymills or irresponsible backyard breeders.... 

dont know what are puppymills? those places are run by money minded people who dont care for the welfare of the dogs, cramp all of them in small cages, making the male mate every female on heat without rest, making the females give birth every cycle without rest, not enough water and food, neglected, literally puppy making machines! if they fall sick? kill them dont waste space.... that is where you get ur cheap puppies from coz the cost is cheap too.... why some forumers here mention thailand puppies? coz there famous for SMUGGLING sick puppymill puppies to be sold at super cheap prices and bought by ignorant buyers.... at least you are here so that people can warn you about these happenings....

dont believe? try google search for puppy mills pictures and see how those dogs are cramp up just to give u cheap puppies....

as for byb, they are people who also only care about profits, breeding the female almost every cycle, feeding them with sub standard food, dont care whether the puppies are well socialised and trained.

getting from a responsible breeder may be more pricey but heck, thats coz their cost is high as they give good food and supplements, they pay attention to those puppies, they feed their females well! in fact i even save hassle in training my girl coz my breeder kick start it for me already, i just needed to enforce it.... 

yes they are the same poodles no matter where they come from, but u will be contributing to the puppy millers or byb income, allowing them to earn more and get more dogs as birthing machines.... 

even if you're an expert in a field, there will always be things you dont know and things you can learn.... i also had two medium dogs before i got myself another small dog, but i still ask and learn because this field is wide, it is impossible to know in detail every breed unless you specialise in studying pets la.... 

u guys potty train your babies? any website to learn all these?

when i mean not care where they came from , i mean like come from thai , vietnam or whatever.

Im gonna study as a vet soon , i know what is puppy mills im not stupid.

I just ask a question and is it so hard for people to answer?

The question is getting puppy with or without mka cert which is better and now u people saying about puppy mills. I am an animal lover , i rescued so many dogs i know about the puppy mills and i detest them. But i just wanted to have a poodle for a change so i ask a little question and there people need to be so protective and flame on something i did not even do?

I plan to buy from a responsible breeder because i saw how the way pet shops treats their puppies , just locking them up so lonely.
@savor_savvy

Of cause have to potty train or else when the dog poo and pee everywhere will trouble u alot.

go google , type how to potty train ur dog. Many websites are found

i already said, when they mean thailand pups, is usually sick puppymill pups....

if you run through this thread and other so-called "popular" breeds, you will find that often people come in asking where to find a cheap dog with ridiculously low budget.... that is the 1st impression u are giving us.... we regulars here always have to repeat ourselves so many times.... if you are looking for a responsible breeder, then good for u, i applaud that.... but since you know alot, you should know that a responsible breeder dont sell cheap dogs because their cost is high as well.... and normally responsible breeders will have puppies with mka cert coz if not mistaken, the process to apply cert is start from mating time....

since you get offended so easily and if u are gonna study as a vet, u do wanna check on ur EQ, we here are telling nicely, not flaming....

      u spied on HER? lol...

eh..actually got ppl selling at rm500 for poodles in lyn wo..from the pics, i see quite cute oso. Healthy or not is another case.

lol.... for a moment i thought u FBI or what, so fast get info....

Lol I was surprised when I see the next post after Suzanne cus I also felt she just stated the fact but not scolding 
maybe we all have different type of 'analyzing' some one's comment? lol

bout laziness, I think most of dogs are prone to sleep if they have nothing to do at home. Autumn for example, she's SUPER ACTIVE when I bring her out as in never tired even if she was running running n running but when at home all she did is just sleeping the whole day
