Our Cyrus was cryptorchid as well. Neither of his testicles descended. We had him neutered at 7 months (which was in our contract with our breeder anyway to have him neutered before the age of 8 months). I talked to our breeder about it as well, and she assured me none of the males in his line were cryptorchid that she was aware of. I guess it happens from time to time. I don't think it's always irresponsible breeding practices to blame. We were planning on neutering him regardless, so really it wasn't an issue for us. The surgery is a little more extensive for cryptorchid males, but Cyrus was healed up and normal within 10 days. Good luck! :-)
